Splitt, the friendly bill splitter, designed and developed in a day.
Problem
Splitting a bill with friends means doing math at the dinner table
Solution
A mobile app that scans receipts, itemizes every expense, and splits it any way the group wants
Opportunity
How might we make scanning receipts and assigning items feel effortless, even across several receipts?
Overview
Turning a dinner table problem into a product
Splitt is a mobile app that makes splitting a bill with friends painless. It scans receipts, itemizes every expense automatically, and lets a group split any way they want, from an even split to tracking exactly who ordered what.
Design Process
Fast, focused, and built to ship
Mobile design was new territory for our team, so I focused on rapid iteration: getting visuals to the engineers as fast as possible and refining details in parallel.
Key Interactions
Scanning and splitting, without the math
The core challenge was making receipt scanning and item assignment feel effortless, even across several receipts at once.
Outcome
24 hours. One real product.
We took an everyday frustration and built a polished, usable solution in a day. Being named runner-up for Best Design out of 200+ projects confirmed that speed and craft can coexist.
What I took away
- 01Get visuals to engineers earlyIn a 24-hour build, an imperfect screen today beats a perfect one tomorrow.
- 02Refine in parallelPolishing details while engineering built kept both moving.
- 03Speed and craft can coexistA day was enough to ship something people found delightful.
