Item-level fairness
Each line item can belong to one person or many, with share units for uneven portions when one friend took more of the dish.
Browser-first group bill app
Split the messy table without the awkward math.
TabTangle turns a lopsided dinner check into a clean settlement plan. Assign each dish, handle shared plates with uneven portions, spread tax, tip, service, and discounts fairly, then copy one note everyone can live with.
- Split by item, not just by headcount
- Supports uneven shares for shared starters, dessert, and bottles
- Creates a minimal who-pays-whom plan instead of a wall of math
Why people use it
- One person paid the full bill and needs a clean recovery plan.
- Not everyone ordered the same amount, so an equal split feels unfair.
- Tax, tip, service, and coupons make manual rounding annoying fast.
Built for dinners, birthdays, shared bottles, takeaway runs, and any small-table moment where “just divide it” is wrong.
Clear fee logic
Tax, tip, and service can follow item share or split evenly, while discounts can be pushed back proportionally or equally.
Socially calm output
The app reduces the table into a small set of settlement moves and a copy-ready note instead of forcing everyone to inspect the arithmetic.

What makes TabTangle different?
It is tuned for the small-table moment: itemized dishes, shared plates, uneven portions, partial payments, and a fast settlement output that avoids social drag.
