Split the bill, keep it simple. SplitNow is a single-purpose split-bill app. No accounts, no groups, no IOUs, no balances. Scan a receipt, type freely who ordered what, and the AI does the rest. Share a receipt-card image with payment details in two taps. • Scan or skip. Point your camera at the receipt — on-device OCR pulls the items. Or skip and type from scratch. Either way works. • Plain-English describe. "Anna had the pasta, Bob had pizza, we shared garlic bread." That's the whole input. AI sorts it. • Tax + tip split modes. Proportional, equal, or skip. Pick once, SplitNow remembers. • Multi-currency, IDR default. Detects the receipt's currency automatically; override in Settings if needed. • Share a receipt card. One image, one share sheet. Send it to the group chat and you're done. • Bank + e-wallet + QRIS. Add your payment methods once; they embed on the share card so people know exactly how to pay you. • No accounts. No login. No analytics. The receipt photo never leaves your phone — only the OCR text and your description do. Built by Devara Fikry Akmal at Devalab — a one-person studio of small, calm apps.
