Tatekan keeps track of who paid what and works out who owes whom, so settling up takes seconds. ■ What you can do ・Log payments Enter who paid, how much, and what for, as easily as sending a chat message. Split a payment with everyone, or only with the members you choose. ・Settle up automatically Tatekan looks at everyone's balance and shows who should pay whom, and how much. You can record repayments too, so nobody has to wonder "Did I already pay you back?" ・Share it with the group Everyone sees the same Tatekan on their own phone. Members get a notification when a payment is added or deleted. ・Edit history and reactions Every payment keeps a history of its changes, so you can always check what happened. Send an emoji reaction to say thanks. ・Invite with a QR code or link Show a QR code on the spot, or send the link in any messaging app. ■ Great for ・Trips with friends, graduation trips, camping ・Organizing dinners, parties and BBQs ・Couples living together and household costs ・Roommates and shared houses ■ How it works 1.
