tidytab: Split Bill App

tidytab

About this app

tidytab is the split bill app that keeps dinner warm. Snap a photo of the receipt, share one link to the group chat, and everyone pays you back in the payment apps they already use. No fees, no ads, and nothing for your friends to install.

HOW TIDYTAB WORKS

1. Snap the receipt. tidytab reads every item, the tax, the tip, and any discount or service charge, even on long, faded, or crumpled receipts.

2. Share one link. Friends open it in their browser. Nobody installs anything, nobody creates an account.

3. Friends claim what they had. Shared a starter? Claim half of it. Tax and tip are split fairly, in proportion to what each person actually ordered, so nobody quietly subsidizes the lobster.

4. Everyone pays in two taps. Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or Zelle open with the amount already filled in, and the bill checks people off as the money lands.

You watch it happen live. Every claim and every payment appears on the bill in real time, for everyone looking at it, and when the last share arrives the bill settles itself.

RUN A TAB WITH YOUR PEOPLE

Groups keep a running balance across dinners, trips, and rounds. Add an expense in five seconds, split now, and settle whenever, the way friends actually do it. When it is time to square up, tidytab works out the fewest payments that get everyone back to zero, so six people settle with two or three transfers instead of fifteen.

SPLIT ANY WAY YOU LIKE

Every table is different, so tidytab does not force one style. Let friends claim their own dishes from the scanned receipt, split the whole bill evenly, or let each person enter exactly what they owe. Big groups, non-drinkers, birthday guests, and one friend covering another are all a couple of taps, not a calculator session.

PERFECT FOR

- Dinners out and birthday tables
- Roommates and household expenses
- Group trips and weekends away
- Happy hours and rounds
- Anyone who is always the one who puts down the card

WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE TIDYTAB

Most split bill apps make every single person download the app and create an account before they can pay you back a dollar. tidytab only asks the host to have the app; everyone else just taps a link. That one difference is why tidytab bills get settled the same night instead of after three reminders.

And tidytab never touches your money. Payments happen directly between friends, inside the payment apps you already trust. tidytab reads the receipt, does the math, opens the right app with the right amount, and keeps score. No wallet, no processing, no fees, ever.

PRIVACY THAT RESPECTS THE TABLE

No ads and no data selling. Receipts and bills are visible only to the people you share them with. You can delete your account any time, in the app or on the website, and shared bills stay intact for your friends with your name removed.

Split the bill, keep the friends.
