You know what's worse than a big bill?

A big bill with 8 people who all ordered different things.

Kira handles that.

Scan. Assign. Done.

Launching May 5 on iOS and Android.

Link in bio if you want early access.

Here's how Kira works.

You scan the receipt.

Kira reads every item.

You assign who had what.

Everyone sees exactly what they owe.

Done in under a minute.

No calculator. No group chat debate. No one pretending they forgot.

[markarolee @markarolee]

Kira. Split bills. No awkwardness.

That's the whole pitch.

If you want to be the first to try it, link's in bio.

[markarolee @markarolee]

A few people have asked — why Kira?

[markarolee @markarolee]

The name had to feel friendly, not corporate. Not another tech product trying to sound important.

Just a name. Like someone who's got it handled.

[markarolee @markarolee]

I've been teasing something for a week.

Time to say it.

We built an app called Kira.

It scans your receipt and splits the bill.

That's it. That's the whole thing.

No more awkward silences at the table.

[markarolee @markarolee]

First look coming tomorrow.

If you've been following along — thank you. It means more than you know.

Drop a receipt emoji if you're ready to see it.

[markarolee @markarolee]

This week I'm going to show you what we've been building.

[markarolee @markarolee]

No grand vision. No world domination. Just a thing that works, built for people who live like we do.

[markarolee @markarolee]

Been hinting at something I'm building for a few days now.

Getting closer to showing you.

All I'll say for now: if you've ever been annoyed at the end of a group dinner — it's for you.

Tune in this week.

[markarolee @markarolee]

Still going. More to share soon.

What's something you use every day that you think must have been simple to build — but probably wasn't?

[markarolee @markarolee]

Building a product is mostly invisible work.
You're making decisions nobody sees. On things nobody asked about yet.

[markarolee @markarolee]

The ones who've done this before told me: the simplest-looking products are always the hardest to build well.

I get it now.

[markarolee @markarolee]

We have apps for everything in 2026.

Food delivery. Parking. Reminders to drink water.

But splitting a restaurant bill with 7 people is still a group maths test.

Hmmm... Something's off.

[markarolee @markarolee]

Small problem. Happens every time.

I got tired of it. So we started building something.
More soon.

[markarolee @markarolee]

The last time I had a big group dinner, the food took 20 minutes.

The bill took longer.

[markarolee @markarolee]

By the time we sorted it out, two people had transferred the wrong amount. One said they'd pay later.

They forgot.
