Feature · Receipt scanner
Scan the receipt, the expense fills itself in.
Receipt scanner
No more retyping the amount, the restaurant name and the date by hand. You scan the receipt, the AI reads it all and pre-fills the expense. You glance over it, tweak if needed, and save. The receipt stays attached to the expense as proof.
How it works
The scanner opens right inside the app, no other tool involved. The camera detects the receipt's edges and frames it on its own. Then an AI model reads the image and fills the fields for you: amount, label, currency, date. You always stay in control: nothing is saved until you confirm.
Open the scanner from the "+" menu
The scan button launches your phone's native document scanner: live edge detection, automatic capture and cropping (VisionKit on iPhone, ML Kit on Android). From the same menu, you can also import an existing photo or a PDF.
The AI reads the receipt
The vision model analyses the image and extracts the amount, a label, the currency and the date. A few seconds is enough, even on a slightly long receipt.
The expense is pre-filled
The fields populate on their own with what was read, and the scanned image becomes the receipt attached to the expense. You check at a glance, fix an amount or a title if needed.
You can also complete an existing expense
From an already-open expense, the "Pre-fill from receipt" button only touches the fields left empty: it never overwrites what you've already typed. Handy for finishing an expense you started by hand.
Honestly
What you should also know.
No overblown promises. Here are the real limits of the feature, to avoid surprises.
The AI isn't infallible: a poorly printed amount or an ambiguous currency can slip past it. Always glance at the pre-filled fields before saving.
Scanning is capped at 30 receipts per day per person. More than enough day to day, but worth knowing on a big shopping run.
Scan quality depends on a readable photo: a crumpled, blurry or faded receipt gives a less reliable result. One receipt at a time: no scanning two on a single photo.
