Why we built Shareify
Share the bill. Share the memory.
Shareify started with a frustration most of us have felt — you're at a group dinner, the bill arrives, and nobody can figure out who ordered what, what was paid for, and who still owes. The numbers never quite add up. Someone always ends up covering more than their share. And the awkwardness lingers.
The problem we set out to solve
At too many group dinners, settling the bill meant guessing. Items went unclaimed, amounts didn't add up, and there was no real accountability for who had what. It felt like there had to be a better way — not just to split the bill, but to know exactly what was on it and who was responsible for each item.
In environments where shared expenses happen daily — like long yacht voyages with crew members — keeping track of who owes who becomes a full-time job. Spreadsheets break down, mental tallies get lost, and the friction of settling up can strain even good friendships. There had to be another way.
What Shareify became
We started with the receipt. If one person could scan it and everyone else could claim their own items — asynchronously, from their own phone, without being at the table — the accountability problem disappears. No more arguing over who had the pasta. No more mental maths. Just swipe, claim, done.
But then we realised there was something more interesting happening. When you track what you ate at a restaurant, item by item, you naturally want to rate it. And when enough people rate enough items across enough restaurants, you end up with something genuinely useful — a crowdsourced, item-level restaurant database built from real meals, not anonymous reviews.
Add a GPS map of every experience, your friends' dining history, and the ability to discover new places through people you actually trust — and Shareify became something bigger than a bill splitter. It became a way to remember every experience, share the good ones, and build a record of the places and moments that matter.
What we believe
- Every shared meal is worth remembering, not just settling.
- Accountability doesn't have to be awkward — the right tool removes the friction.
- The best restaurant recommendations come from people you know, not strangers.
- Your data is yours. Private by default, no ads, no selling your information.
- Splitting should be fair — by item, not by assumption.
Where we are
Shareify is free and live now on iPhone. Android is coming soon. We are a small, focused team building something we use ourselves every time we go out — and we are just getting started.
