About the project and how we keep it going
Snap the receipt. Tap what’s yours. Get even.
Tablejar is a fast way to settle shared expenses: you photograph the receipt, everyone marks their items on their phone, and the app works out who owes whom. No installation, in Polish and English.
How does it work?
1. You photograph the receipt. The app reads its items and you quickly fix any mistakes (or type them in).
2. Everyone else joins via QR code or link, with no account, and taps what they had. Shared items split themselves, you can take "3 of 8 pizza slices" or treat someone.
3. The app shows who owes whom (fewest transfers) and where each amount comes from.
4. You tick off payments in the app, and when everything adds up the settlement closes.
Three ways to use it
A night out
A single bill: dinner, a team lunch, coffee. You start a settlement in seconds and others join by QR code, with no account and no installation.
A trip or a party
Several bills in one settlement: lodging, groceries, fuel, dinners. Everything goes into one balance with the fewest transfers and an explanation of the amounts, bill by bill. Requires signing in with email (no password).
A flat: a standing group
For flatmates and families: month-by-month settlements that carry over unpaid balances, shared bills split by weights (e.g. room size), a budget with warnings and recurring expenses such as rent or internet. Requires signing in with email.
In every mode
Service charge and tips split to the grosz, payments and refunds with "I paid back / I received" marks, the organiser can run things for people without a phone, participants can view the receipt photo, settled bills can be hidden in an archive, and you can add the app to your home screen like a normal one.
Your data
The receipt photo is used to read the items and to improve reading quality. It stops being available to participants: for a single bill right after the settlement is closed, for a group 30 days after the settlement is closed. The organiser can delete it at any time.
We record anonymous statistics about how the app is used (e.g. that a bill was created), without the content of bills, item names or individual amounts. Names are used only to split the bill within a group.
How we keep Tablejar going
Basic splitting is free. Running it costs money (server, reading receipt photos), so you can support us voluntarily, and we are thinking about extras for people who scan a lot.
Whatever we do to keep the app running never enters the settlement: it never changes amounts or transfers between people.
