Splitting the bill was never the hard part. The hard part is the moment after the text nobody wants to send, the small amount that sits quietly between two friends until it stops being small. Most people would rather let it go than be the one who asks. Tab is for that moment. Splitting bills without the guilt and keeping the memories long after. Every table you share becomes worth holding onto the people, the place. That's the part that lasts. An app that feels human. Snap. Speak. Done.
I built Tab because I wasn't able to ask for the money back. I just never sent the message. Someone would cover dinner, I'd say I'd sort it later, and then I wouldn't, because asking a second time felt worse than losing the money.
So I stopped asking. What surprised me was what happened after. The postcards stayed in the group chat. Six months of Thursdays, the place we always end up at, the one night everyone showed. Tab keeps them, so what starts as the awkward part of dinner ends up being the part you scroll back through.
