Snap & Split: Use AI-powered OCR to scan your receipt and auto-fill your total. No more manual typing. The "Pre-Tax" Advantage: Save money every time you dine. Use our smart toggle to calculate your tip based on the subtotal, not the tax. Dynamic Re-balancing: Adjust one person’s share manually and watch the app "magically" re-distribute the rest. Perfect for the "one drink" or "side salad" friend. Status Tracker: Tap a name to mark them as paid. Keep track of who has Venmo’d you without leaving the app. Privacy First: No account required. Your data never leaves your device. Round Up Logic: Clean up the numbers with a single tap for even, painless payments. Most apps want your data or a monthly fee.
