Falls back gracefully
If the scan fails outright you land on an empty editable list rather than an error screen, so a faded receipt never blocks the split.
SplitSnap reads the paper receipt straight from a photo, lets everyone claim what they actually ordered, and works out each person's share of the tax and tip down to the cent. No spreadsheet, no arguing over who had the second round.
The whole flow is built around the thirty seconds you actually have at the end of a meal, while someone is holding the card machine.
A framing guide shaped like a receipt lines the shot up, and text recognition pulls the line items off the paper. If the lighting is hopeless or the print has faded, you drop straight into manual entry instead of being stuck.
Every line is editable, and you can add anything the scan missed. If the items don't add up to the printed total, SplitSnap says so rather than quietly splitting the wrong number — a mis-read decimal point is the one error that ruins the whole split.
Add the table by name, then tap to assign. Anything shared — the bottle of wine, the plate of olives everyone picked at — gets split evenly between whoever claimed it. You can't move on while something is still unassigned.
Tax and tip aren't divided by head count — they're allocated in proportion to what each person's food actually cost. Order a salad while the table orders steak and you pay a salad's share of the tip, not a third of it.
SplitSnap renders the whole summary as a single card and hands it to the normal share sheet — group chat, message, email. Everyone sees the same maths, so nobody has to take your word for the total.
Tap the names to move items around and drag the sliders. This runs the same arithmetic the app does — item shares first, then tax and tip allocated in proportion to each person's subtotal.
Text recognition runs locally, not on a server. There's no account to make, no receipt upload, and nothing to leak — a photograph of your bill is a photograph of where you were and who you were with, and it stays yours.
Receipt images uploaded anywhere. Recognition happens on the handset itself.
Accounts, sign-ups, or passwords. Open the app and start splitting.
Usable with no signal — the whole flow works on a basement restaurant's dead Wi-Fi.
If the scan fails outright you land on an empty editable list rather than an error screen, so a faded receipt never blocks the split.
Each person's items, tax, and tip are listed separately, and the shares are checked back against the bill — including the odd penny that rounding leaves behind.
Past receipts stay on the device with their date, item count, and total — handy when someone asks about dinner three weeks later.
In proportion to what each person ordered. SplitSnap adds up each person's items, works out what fraction of the subtotal that is, and gives them that same fraction of the tax and of the tip. Someone who ordered half the food pays half the tip.
Assign the item to everyone who had it and its cost is divided evenly between them. That split share is then what counts toward their proportion of the tax and tip.
Every line stays editable, and SplitSnap compares the items plus tax and tip against the total printed on the receipt. If they disagree by more than a rounding cent you get a warning before you split anything.
No. SplitSnap works out who owes what and hands you a summary to share — settling up happens however your group already does it. There's no payment processing involved.
Receipts are stored on the device only. That means nothing to breach, but also that history doesn't follow you to a new phone. Cross-device sync isn't built yet.
