Introducing Paylino, an innovative, fully accessible receipt scanning and splitting app for iOS

Hello everyone!

I am a fully blind app developer from Germany. In this post, I would love to introduce my first fully self-developed app, which has launched on the App Store only a few days ago.

Introducing Paylino, an innovative, fully accessible bill scanning and splitting app for iOS

Snap receipts, split with friends, add tip, done. Put an end to napkin math at dinner.

Split bills in seconds — fast, easy, accurate.

Paylino is the iOS receipt scanner built for sharing. Snap a restaurant check, a shared grocery receipt, or any group expense. Paylino instantly detects line items, taxes, and totals, then lets you split everything fairly — down to the cent.

Start in a tap: Snap the receipt → auto-detect → assign items → choose tip → done.

How it works

1. Snap or choose a receipt Take a photo right in the app. Smart edge detection helps you line it up perfectly. Or import a photo from your library.

2. Capture everything automatically Our specialized AI recognizes the merchant, currency, items, and taxes/extra fees. Everything is clearly organized and fully editable.

3. Split fairly with friends Add names, tap who had what, and (optionally) select a tip percentage. Paylino calculates the total and each person’s share automatically.

4. Keep every receipt Your scanned receipts are saved in the app and synced with iCloud, so you can pull them up anytime.

Features

• Lightning-fast, reliable receipt recognition
• Flexible: scan or import, with automatic currency detection
• Easy item assignment and fair group splitting
• Smart tip calculation built in
• Built for accessibility, fully usable with VoiceOver
• Native iPhone app

For those of us who are blind / visually impaired, Paylino makes it a breeze to scan receipts, and then check item prices and totals in a consistent, unified format that can be super quickly navigated with VoiceOver. I personally am really bad when it comes to lining up my iPhone camera for a good shot, so hopefully the fact that I've been getting excellent results consistently is a good indication that it should work great for others as well. The app also lets you select a bill image from your photo library, so if you've received or downloaded a receipt that's not quite accessible to VO, Paylino can help you with that too.

If you've been reading this far and it's sparked your interest, I invite you to download Paylino from the App Store and give it a spin!

Visit the App Store page

Note: since Paylino uses server-powered AI models for bill image analysis, using the app requires a paid subscription, the cheapest one is available at €0.99 / month, which enables 5 scan credits per month. Any thoughts, comments and feedback are super super deeply appreciated!
