Narby: Split the Bill
At the table, no account
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
One person shows the code and the table is in. Split the bill to the cent, write a list, play a game. No account, no server, no internet — it works in airplane mode.
At the end of an evening a bill lands on the table, and then it starts: who
had the second bottle, who only ate a starter, and who is going to work it all
out. Narby turns that into something that belongs at the table. The devices
sitting there connect straight to each other, and for as long as you are
together there is one thing you share.
HOW YOU GET TO THE TABLE
One person opens a table and shows a code. Whoever can see the screen scans it
and is in — no account, no invitation link, no phone numbers. The next table
stays out even when it is close enough, because the code is the door, not the
distance. Up to eight devices sit at one table; at the ninth Narby says the
table is full instead of quietly failing.
Everyone gets a colour when they join, and it holds everywhere: on the band
across the top of their own screen, on the ring that shows who is there, on
the lines they take on the bill, on their side of the board. A first name
stands next to it, so the colour is never the only signal.
THE BILL, TO THE CENT
Photograph the bill or type the lines. Then everybody takes what they had, on
their own device — two people taking the same line means shared, not
overwritten. The split adds up to the cent: a remainder gets distributed,
never rounded away. If the lines and the printed total do not agree, Narby
says so instead of quietly correcting it.
And when nobody else has the app, you split it alone and send the amounts out.
That path is the whole app, not a fallback.
THE AI READS THE BILL, YOU CONFIRM IT
On a device that supports Apple Intelligence, an on-device model reads the
photo and fills the lines and amounts into a form. Every value it read is
marked as an AI suggestion until you confirm or change it, because a model
reading a creased receipt in restaurant light gets things wrong. Nothing goes
to the table before you release it.
Without Apple Intelligence you type the lines in, and that is the same full
path, not a lesser one.
WHAT ELSE CAN BE ON THE TABLE
- Who pays? A wheel over everybody at the table, stopping on the same name on
every screen at the same moment.
- Tic-tac-toe. Two people take a side, the rest watch.
- Impostor. Everyone gets the same word, one gets its partner word, and nobody
knows who has which.
- Lists, brainstorming and mind maps — everybody writing into the same list at
once.
- Snake across the seam. Two to four devices in a row, a snake each, and they
run across all the screens.
- Pong across that same seam. Two paddles, one ball, a set to seven.
THE TABLE DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE INTERNET
No account, no server, no cloud. What you share goes straight from device to
device, encrypted, and only to the people who scanned the code. Turn on
airplane mode and all of it still works. There is no sign-in, no analytics, no
ads and no sync. The photo of the bill stays on the device that took it and
does not outlive the table. The games save nothing at all. Only purchases and
"More apps" talk to Apple.
WHAT NARBY IS NOT
Not a household ledger and not a debt book: it splits one bill at one table,
it does not carry balances between people over weeks. Not a payment service —
it moves no money and wants no bank details. Not a social network: no
profiles, no friend lists, nothing to follow.
WHAT IT COSTS
Nothing. All seven tools are free. No subscription, no advertising and nothing
held back behind a payment — a round at the table must never fail because one
person did not pay. If you want to, you can buy us a coffee, a tapa or a
dinner. That unlocks nothing beyond a supporter badge and a second app icon.
REQUIREMENTS
iPhone or iPad with iOS 26. The photo shortcut additionally needs Apple
Intelligence; without it you type the lines. Snake and Pong need at least two
devices lying edge to edge; where one of them cannot measure the distance, you
tap the seam together instead.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The invite code is now a link: anyone without Narby goes straight to the App
Store with their camera — and anyone with it joins the table at once. Note:
Narby 1.1 can't read the new code. At a mixed table, the phone with the new
version shows the code, or everyone updates first.
New: a bill works on your own too — no second device, right from the start.
And the result can be shared as a picture, with a line saying who sent it.
Plus: guests take the host's seats exactly, and the connection at the table is
sturdier.
