TabChop a truly painless way to split a tab

Hacker News

We built TabChop because splitting a bill still feels weirdly painful. Someone downloads an app, the receipt scan is off, the UI is clunky, and half the table gives up. After one too many dinners where the “solution” turned into unresolved requests and Venmo chaos, we wanted something that simply worked. TabChop starts with the receipt. Take a picture, share a short code, and everyone claims what they ordered. You can watch the receipt update live as people grab their items in real time, so there’s no “who got what?” confusion. We also store each person’s Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle info, so when the split is done it’s one click to pay. No awkward questions about who to pay or how much. The goal is simple. No friction, no math, no awkwardness. Just a painless way to split a tab.
