Expense Tracker & Receipt Scanner Budget, Reports, OCR (iOS SwiftUI)

Transactions

• Expenses, income and refunds (refunds reduce spending in their category instead of counting as income)
• Amount, currency, category, date and time, merchant, payment method, notes, tags and receipts
• Edit, duplicate, delete with confirmation, "Save & add another", merchant and tag suggestions
• Search and filters: type, dates, categories, payment methods, tags, amount range, with/without receipt; sorting; bulk re-categorise and delete

Receipt scanning (on-device OCR)

• Document scanner with auto-crop, camera, Photos and Files (images and PDF)
• Crop and rotate before saving
• Apple Vision reads merchant, date, total, tax and currency; every value is shown for review, uncertain totals are flagged
• Free and private: nothing is uploaded, no API key needed
• Receipt inbox for receipts not yet linked, library with search, share and replace

Budgets

• Overall and per-category monthly budgets
• 50 / 80 / 100% alerts (notifications never show amounts)
• Optional rollover of unused budget
• Custom month start day to budget by salary cycle (e.g. from the 25th)

Reports

• Week, month, quarter, year or custom range, compared with the previous period
• Category donut and table, spending vs income trend, payment methods, top merchants
• Tap any row to see the matching transactions

Recurring transactions

• Daily, weekly, monthly or yearly with interval and end date
• Add automatically or remind to confirm; pause any time
• Never duplicates, even after the app was closed for a while

Export, backup & privacy

• CSV export (Excel-safe) and PDF expense report for any range
• One-file backup and restore with SHA-256 integrity checks
• Face ID / passcode lock with app-switcher blur
• All data on the device with iOS file protection; privacy manifest included

Polished experience

• 8 languages: English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Simplified Chinese
• Branded launch screen and animated splash
• Onboarding with currency and month-start setup, sample data to explore
• Dark mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels, iPhone and iPad

For developers

• 100% Swift and SwiftUI (Charts, Vision, VisionKit, PDFKit), no third-party libraries
• Clean structure: Foundation-only core logic separate from the UI
• 92 core tests (run on the Mac, no simulator) and 7 end-to-end UI tests
• Money stored as whole minor units: no rounding errors
• Saved data is versioned and survives app updates; unreadable data is kept, not lost
• Rebrand from one config file and a few assets; launch screen is two assets, no code
• Debug launch options to produce App Store screenshots with sample data
• "Data Not Collected" privacy label; export compliance pre-set
