Getting Started

How to Split a Bill

1. Scan a Receipt
   • Tap the camera icon
   • Take a photo of your receipt (take the photo just like you do when scanning documents for best results)
   • Items will be automatically extracted
2. Assign Items
   • Add people to your transaction
   • Each person selects their items
   • Tax and tip are split proportionally
3. Track Settlements
   • Mark when someone pays you
   • Keep track of who owes what

Live Transactions

Perfect for ordering together:

• Start a live transaction before ordering
• Add items as you go
• Add tax and tip at the end
• No receipt needed!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do my friends need the app?

No! You can add temporary people and track what they owe without them having the app. However, if they have the app, you can invite them to collaborate on the transaction.

How accurate is the receipt scanning?

CheqM8s uses Apple’s on-device Vision framework to read your receipt, plus an optional AI parser (on by default) that improves accuracy on messy or complex receipts. The scanner works best with clear, well-lit photos. Make sure the entire receipt is visible and the text is readable.

What is the AI receipt scanning option?

When enabled, the text Apple Vision pulls from your receipt is sent to Google Gemini to extract items and prices more accurately. Your photo never leaves the device — only the recognized text. The feature is on by default.

How do I turn off AI receipt scanning?

Open the app, go to Settings → Scanning Settings, and toggle “Use AI to improve receipt scanning” off. With it off, all parsing runs entirely on your device.

Is there a limit on AI scans?

Yes — each account gets a small monthly allowance to keep the feature free. When the limit is reached, scanning continues to work using on-device parsing; nothing breaks, results may just be slightly less polished until the next month.

Can I edit items after scanning?

Absolutely! You can add, edit, or remove items after scanning. You can also manually add items if the scanner misses anything.

How do I invite friends?

You can search for friends by username or share a transaction link that they can open in the app.

What if the receipt scan misses items?

You can manually add any missing items or edit existing ones. The scanner is a starting point - you have full control to adjust as needed.

Troubleshooting
