SmartBürokratie is your calm, expert guide through German bureaucracy — and now your Smart Receipts companion too. Step-by-step checklists for the Anmeldung and residence permits sit next to a receipt scanner, spending insights, and an AI legal assistant that speaks plain English, Deutsch, Türkçe, العربية and Українська. NEW IN 1.2.0 • Smart Receipts: photograph any Kassenbon. We extract merchant, purchase date, gross total, VAT and line items where possible, then store them for search and review. • Spending Insights that follow your filter: pick All, Week, Month or Year and watch totals, top stores, and charts actually update. Month and Year now open dedicated pickers so you can jump to January 2024 or "this month" with one tap. • Period-aware charts: a Mon–Sun bar chart for the week (with today highlighted), week-of-month buckets for a month, and a 12-month trend for a year — each with a summary line showing count, busiest bucket, and average. • Store Savings hints: spot grocery-heavy merchants from your receipts and get an optional Monday 09:00 reminder to check the weekly flyers at home. • Arabic and Ukrainian are now first-class languages across every tab. WHAT YOU GET Guides. Dozens of location-aware checklists for moving to Germany, residence permits, parental leave, housing, and more — reviewed by humans and written in Sie-form German for trust. Rights. A searchable database of benefits and entitlements: social benefits, employment protection, healthcare, family law, housing. Each entry cites the underlying German law and is updated continuously. AI legal assistant. Ask about Kündigungsschutz, a rental deposit dispute, or Elterngeld eligibility. Answers are written for humans, cite the relevant paragraphs, and know when to tell you "see a lawyer". Available 24/7 with a daily free quota; Plus unlocks higher allowances and more Smart Receipt saves per month. Smart Receipts. Snap a bill, confirm what we extracted, and move on. Every receipt is yours: search by merchant, open the original photo, or export via your device share sheet. Insights. Totals with tax context, typical and largest purchases, top merchants, and charts that respect the time range you pick. Great for budgeting, expense reports, and just understanding where it all went. Store Savings. Grocery merchants are clustered so you can see who you actually shop with. An optional local notification nudges you to check flyers on Monday morning; nothing is downloaded or scraped by us. Privacy-first. Sign in with Google or Apple. Smart Receipts sync through encrypted transport; delete any receipt (or your account) at any time. Location is only used with your explicit consent to tailor checklists and merchant area hints — never sold, never used for advertising.
