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 works on any iPhone running iOS 26 or later. Saying who had what in a sentence uses Apple Intelligence, on iPhone 15 Pro or newer.
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. This is the part that uses Apple Intelligence; without it, you tap an item, then who had it.
“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.
The photo is read and audited in the seconds after you take it. Then come the five steps the app numbers, and the first is just checking Tabber got it right.
Photograph the receipt with its total in the gray band above the shutter, or pick one from Photos. The original capture is read, not a compressed copy, so small print survives.
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.
The printed subtotal and total audit the parse: the items have to add up. The strip in the band is read on its own as a second opinion on the total. Where it doesn't add up, Tabber says so.
-
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.
-
Tip
Keep the tip the receipt already printed, pick a percentage, type an amount, or leave none. Your usual percentage, and whether it's figured pre- or post-tax, come from Settings.
-
Seat
Who's at the table. People Tabber already knows are one tap each, a new name is typed once, and the whole table can be said in a breath. Tap a seated name to mark their birthday.
-
Assign
Type or dictate who had what, and items land under each person as they're recognised. Or tap a row to place it, and hold one to place several at once — which is the whole step without Apple Intelligence.
-
Share
Per-person totals with itemised breakdowns, sent through the standard share sheet. Finish files the tab on your home screen.
The parts a receipt doesn't print.
Somebody's birthday, a bill you'll sort out tomorrow, and the friend who pays you back next week.
The table covers it
Tap their name while seating the table, or just say “it's Sarah's birthday”. Their items stay on their card, and everything they'd owe — tax and tip included — is split evenly across everyone else.
Finish it later
Every step before the summary has an Exit that saves the tab as a draft. It waits on Home under In progress, reopens on the step you left, and once finished is filed under the day it was started.
See who still owes you
On a saved tab, hold someone's name to mark them paid, and hold again to take it off. A paid share dims, so whoever still owes stands out.
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.

0data collected
As declared by the developer in the App Store privacy manifest.
Receipt photos can be kept with each tab, dropped 30 days after the meal, or not saved with tabs at all. 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 helps read 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.
Any iPhone on iOS 26 or later
Scan the receipt and tap who had what. The prices, tax and tip come straight off the receipt, items keep the names it prints, and the split math is identical on every iPhone.
iPhone 15 Pro or newer
Describe who had what in a sentence, typed or said, and item names are tidied up. Prefer the faster scan? Switch it off for Tabber in Settings.
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.
