About Divvy

Divvy is a bill splitting app for groups. You photograph a receipt and AI reads each line item, tax and tip, then you tap who had what. The totals are calculated by what each person ordered rather than dividing the bill evenly, with tax and tip shared proportionally.

Friends do not need the app: you send a link, and they select their items, see what they owe and pay. For recurring situations, you can build groups for trips, roommates or regular crews, with every receipt rolling into a running balance, and track rent and shared bills. Payback requests can be sent through Venmo or Cash App.

The app is distributed on the App Store, free to download with in-app purchases, and is built for iPhone. It suits groups dining out, traveling together or sharing a household who want to avoid manual arithmetic.
