## What is SpendLens Diary?

SpendLens turns your receipts into a clear picture of where your money goes.

Point your camera at a receipt and SpendLens reads the merchant, date and total for you. Receipt text is read on your device, and your expenses are stored on your device. There's no account to create.

SCAN IN SECONDS
• Scan paper receipts with the camera or import a photo
• Merchant, date and total are filled in for you — review and save
• Add expenses manually when there's no receipt

SEE WHAT CHANGED
• Spending Pulse shows how this month is tracking against your target
• "What changed?" highlights categories that are higher than usual
• Monthly and weekly reviews summarise how the period went

PLAN AHEAD
• Set a monthly target and budgets per category
• See your available planned spending for the month
• Create savings goals and track your progress

STAY ON TOP OF RECEIPTS
• Keep receipt photos with each expense
• Tag receipts for warranty, returns and tax
• Back up and export your data to a file you control

SPENDLENS PRO
Upgrade for deeper insights:
• Purchase Pattern Lens — see how each purchase compares with your own history
• Why did I spend more? — see what drove a category up
• Spending Pattern Lab — your busiest days, times, merchants and weekend habits
• Weekly Review, Receipt Health and duplicate detection

SpendLens describes your own spending based on what you enter. It does not give financial, investment or tax advice.

SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS
SpendLens Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings at any time after purchase.
