Itemize the receipt. Split the bill.

Turn a receipt photo into an itemized bill you can check, split, and keep. Tabmate brings receipt details, each person's share, and your recorded expenses together on iPhone and iPad.

A receipt photo is not yet a useful record.

After dinner or a shared grocery shop, the work is still there: read the receipt, work out who had what, and keep a record you can find later. A photo saves the paper, but not the arithmetic.

Tabmate lets you review the extracted items and totals before sharing. Keep the receipt for yourself, split it with people, or add it to a group for a trip, housemates, or regular dinners.

From receipt photo to a clear share.

  1. Bring in the receipt.

    Take a photo, import from Photos or Files, or choose a page from a PDF. You can also enter a receipt manually without using a scan.

  2. Check the details.

    Review the items, totals, merchant, and date. Correct a value or add a missing item, with the original photo available to check.

  3. Split it your way.

    Keep it just for you, invite people, or choose a group. Split evenly or assign items, then see each person's share beside the receipt total.

  4. Keep the useful record.

    Find receipts in History and view recorded expenses by category, day, month, or year. Export complete receipts as CSV when you need them elsewhere.

Useful records, not just scanned paper.

Check before you share.

AI can make mistakes. Review and correct extracted details before splitting or sharing; the source photo stays with the receipt.

Groups for the bills you share.

Keep trip, household, or dinner receipts in one group. Split evenly or by item rather than doing the allocation again in a message thread.

Your share, not the whole table.

Expenses tracks eligible recorded receipts and your share of group bills. It is not a bank feed, a payment service, or an automatic record of everything you spend.

Tabmate questions.

What does Tabmate do?

Tabmate turns receipt photos into itemized bills you can review, split, and keep. It combines editable receipt details, even or item-based splits, reusable groups, receipt history, and recorded-expense charts.

Can I split a bill by item instead of evenly?

Yes. After reviewing a receipt, choose people or a group and split evenly or assign items. Tabmate shows each participant's allocated share. These are expense shares, not a record of payments or outstanding balances.

Can I enter a receipt without scanning it?

Yes. Manual entry lets you add items, totals, a merchant, and a date, then choose whether to split the receipt. Manual entry does not use scan credits.

Is receipt scanning entirely on-device?

No. Apple scanning uses Private Cloud Compute on eligible Apple Intelligence devices running iOS 27, subject to Apple's usage limits. Optional Enhanced Scanning sends the receipt photo through Cloudflare and OpenRouter to Google Gemini, with separate consent. Tabmate does not silently switch from Apple scanning to Enhanced Scanning.

Does Tabmate require a subscription?

Tabmate has no scanning subscription. Optional Enhanced Scanning uses purchased packs of 100 scans; purchased credits do not expire. Apple scanning availability and usage limits depend on your device and Apple services. Scan-pack pricing is shown in the app before purchase.

Do receipts sync, and do I need another account?

There is no separate Tabmate account. Completed personal receipts and their source photos sync through your private iCloud database; unfinished scans remain on the device. Sharing and groups also use iCloud and require the relevant Apple services to be available.

Does the Expenses chart include all my spending?

No. It summarizes eligible receipts recorded in Tabmate, using your allocated share for group bills. Choose day, month, or year and explore categories. Tabmate does not connect to your bank or convert currencies automatically.

Can I export my receipts?

Yes. Export complete receipts as a CSV file from Settings. Receipt and split summaries can also be shared as images. Export is not a connection to accounting software or a tax-filing service.
