Sofra helps you split a bill with friends fairly and transparently. It's a dedicated tool to split bill payments for any restaurant receipt, from simple coffees to complex group dinners with shared plates, taxes, and tips. The entire app works offline, with no accounts or ads. Your Privacy Comes First • Use the entire app without an internet connection, making it reliable in any restaurant or when traveling abroad. • Keep all your financial and personal data private; bills, names, and photos are stored only on your device. • Skip tedious sign-ups and account creation to get straight to splitting the bill the moment it arrives. • Enjoy a completely ad-free experience with no ad tracking, so your financial habits always stay yours. • Control your data by opting out of anonymous usage statistics at any time in the Settings. Scan or Enter Any Bill • Photograph your receipt and let the on-device reader automatically extract items and prices, saving you time. • Scan with confidence, as the photo is never uploaded and is processed securely on your phone for total privacy. • Enter items by hand for full control or to make quick adjustments to the scanned results with ease. • Read receipts in both English and Arabic, with the on-device reader extracting items and prices. A Fair Split in 5 Steps • Start by taking a photo of your receipt; Sofra reads it on your phone, with no internet or uploads needed. • Assign each item to the person who had it, or tap to divide shared plates between multiple friends. • Add any extras from the receipt, like VAT, service charges, or a group discount, to match the final total. • Record who paid the restaurant at the table, whether it was one person covering the cost or several. • Share the final summary to your group chat so everyone sees exactly what they owe and who to pay back. Handle Complex Bills With Ease • Divide shared dishes like a pizza between multiple people, ensuring everyone pays only their exact portion. • Assign multiple units of an item, such as three drinks, to a single person with just a few taps. • Add all the charges your table actually pays, including tax, service, tips, discounts, or other fees. • Apply discounts and charges proportionally, so everyone gets their fair share of a deal or an added fee. • Customize charges as a percentage or a fixed amount, with helpful starting values for Egypt (14% VAT, 12% service). • Settle a tricky split bill where multiple people paid, calculating exactly who needs to repay whom to clear the debt. Settle Up Clearly and Simply • See a precise breakdown of who owes whom, eliminating confusion when several people paid the restaurant directly. • Share a clear, easy-to-understand text summary of the final split to your group chat via any app. • Send a simple image card that visually presents what each person had and what they owe for clarity. • Record how friends can be paid back, including a convenient InstaPay shortcut for users in Egypt if installed.

Perfect for friends, families, and coworkers who regularly dine out and need a reliable way to split the bill without hassle, arguments, or complicated math.
