SplitHappens: Split Expenses

Daniel Kimmich

About this app

SplitHappens — Scan the receipt, split fairly, done!

The free bill splitter with AI receipt scanning. Split expenses with friends, roommates, and travel groups — even with people who don't have the app. Snap the receipt, let AI
recognize every item, assign positions, and settle up in one tap. No forced accounts, no ads, no daily limits.

Done with awkward "who owes whom?" math after every dinner? SplitHappens makes sharing expenses as simple as taking a photo.

AI RECEIPT SCANNER
- Photograph any receipt — restaurant bills, grocery stores, hotels, gas stations
- Our AI automatically recognizes every item, price, and quantity
- Multi-currency support (EUR, USD, GBP, CHF and more)
- Participants simply tap their items: "That was my pizza!"
- Real-time sync — everyone sees who picked what, instantly

SHARE WITHOUT FORCING THE APP
- Add friends as guests to any bill — no account required
- Guests view the bill directly in their browser
- Perfect when not everyone wants to install another app
- Guests can claim their account later — all their data stays intact

THREE WAYS TO CREATE A BILL
- With receipt: snap a photo, AI recognizes everything
- Without receipt: enter items manually
- Total amount only: split evenly, by shares, by percent, or individual amounts

FLEXIBLE EVENTS FOR GROUP EXPENSES
- Create events for vacations, shared households, birthdays, or weekly get-togethers
- Bundle every bill from one event in a single place
- Participants are automatically added to every event bill
- Optimized settlement: SplitHappens calculates the minimum number of transfers (multi-way netting) — 6 payments may become just 3

SMART SETTLEMENT
- Netting: you owe $30, you're owed $10 — just pay $20
- One-tap settle up: clear all debts between two people at once
- Save payment preferences to your profile (PayPal, IBAN) — others instantly see how to pay you
- Multi-currency with automatic conversion

INSTANT CONNECTIONS
- Add friends in seconds via QR code
- Share events and bills via invite link — one tap and everyone's in
- No public profile — your privacy stays protected

What’s new

All amounts shown in your device region's format. Permission dialogs (camera, photos) follow your device's system language. You can now mark your own items as paid directly from the bill. Also: friend invite links work reliably and expire after 24 hours, with no hidden usage limit.
