BillSplitReceipt: Expense Splitter with OCR
Instantly split restaurant/bar bills among friends by photographing the receipt and assigning items to people, eliminating manual math and venmo disputes
The Problem
When groups go out to eat, splitting bills fairly is friction-filled: someone manually totals items per person (error-prone), screenshots get lost, tip calculations vary, and nobody remembers who ordered what. Existing apps either require everyone to input orders manually or only handle equal splits. Photographing a receipt should just work.
Target Audience
Social groups (20-40 year olds) who eat/drink out frequently and split bills; also expense-conscious roommate groups and friend circles
Why Now?
Mobile OCR quality has crossed the threshold for reliable receipt parsing; Cursor/Lovable make building polished mobile web apps trivial; Venmo/Cash App integration APIs are mature
What's Missing
Existing receipt splitters have terrible OCR accuracy on real-world receipts (poor lighting, fonts, damage) and require tedious manual corrections. Nobody built a UX that makes the photo-to-split flow feel magical and fast.
