Tabber
Snap it. Say it. Split it.
Scan the receipt, say who had what, and Tabber works out the rest — tax, tips and splits. No hassle. No network needed. No kidding.
Scanning needs an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Manual entry works on any iPhone running iOS 26.
One sentence. Everyone's share.
Type it or say it. Names in the sentence become people, items are matched against the receipt, and anything split is divided automatically.
“Sarah had the salmon, John and I split the calamari, Mike's getting his own tab.”
- Grilled Salmon$32.00
- Caesar Salad$12.00
- Tax & tip$12.54
- Calamari $8.00
- Old Fashioned$14.00
- Tax & tip$6.27
- Ribeye$46.00
- Tax & tip$13.11
- Calamari $8.00
- Tax & tip$2.28
“I” and “me” mean you. A name Tabber has seen before is matched to that person; a new name is simply remembered once the tab is saved. Anything the sentence didn't cover stays visible as unassigned, and a tap fixes it.
Receipt in, per-person totals out.
Six steps, and two of them are just checking Tabber got it right.
-
Capture
Photograph the receipt, or pick one from Photos. Tabber reads the original capture rather than a compressed copy, so the small high-contrast print survives.
-
Parse
The photo is straightened and cropped, then read as a table — so each item stays attached to its own price instead of being paired by position.
-
Check
The printed subtotal and total are read off the page and used to audit the parse: the items have to add up. Where they don't, Tabber says so instead of guessing.
-
Review
Every line, and the restaurant name, is editable. Anything the audit couldn't reconcile is flagged for a glance-check before you go on.
-
Assign
Type or dictate who had what. Items land under each person as they're recognised. Anyone the sentence didn't name can be seated by hand.
-
Share
Per-person totals with itemised breakdowns, sent through the standard share sheet. Finished tabs are saved to your home screen.
Nothing leaves your iPhone.
This isn't a policy position, it's how the app is built. Tabber has no backend to send anything to. The receipt photo, the text read off it, the names at your table, and the sentence describing who had what are all processed on the device using Apple's on-device models.

As declared by the developer in the App Store privacy manifest.
Receipt photos can be kept always, dropped 30 days after the meal, or never stored at all — in which case the receipt is read and immediately discarded. Settings shows exactly what the photos cost on disk and can delete every one of them while leaving your tabs, itemisations, and remembered people intact. One confirmed tap erases everything.
Fair by construction.
A money app has to be right every time, so none of the arithmetic is left to a language model.
Tax and tip follow the order
Both are split by each person's share of the subtotal. Someone who had a salad doesn't subsidise the steak — and the person who ordered the steak isn't overcharged either.
The column always adds up
Every amount is whole cents end to end. Rounding drift lands on the largest payer, so the per-person figures always sum to exactly the total printed on the receipt.
The model never does math
The AI reads the receipt and works out who had what. Every calculation after that is ordinary, testable code — the part that has to be exact is the part that never guesses.
Split evenly or by portion
An appetiser three ways is one shared line spanning three people, not three duplicates. Uneven splits are supported when someone had rather more of it than the others.
Checked against the receipt
Items must reconcile with the printed subtotal, and the subtotal plus tax and tip must reach the printed total. A line that isn't really on the receipt gets caught this way.
Built for the table
Tabular figures, clear hierarchy, one-handed and fast — this is a utility you reach for mid-dinner, not something to sit and study.
What you need.
iPhone 15 Pro or newer
Scanning and plain-English assignment use Apple Intelligence, which needs capable hardware and iOS 26.
Any iPhone on iOS 26
On hardware that can't run the on-device models, Tabber falls back to manual entry: name the place, type the items, and the split math works identically.
An internet connection
The core flow makes no network calls at all. Tabber works in a basement restaurant with no signal exactly as well as anywhere else.
