Keep your receipts, spending, and budgets in one place. Shekelica helps you turn payment screenshots and paper receipts into records you can review and understand. Choose an image, photograph a receipt, or add a transaction manually. Check the details before saving, then explore your spending and manage your budget on iPhone and iPad. RECORD YOUR WAY - Import payment screenshots and receipt photos. - Recognize receipt text on your device and review the extracted details before adding them to your ledger. - Add cash purchases, income, and other transactions manually. - Keep receipt images alongside your records for later reference. KEEP YOUR LEDGER ORGANIZED - Search and filter transactions by date, category, payment method, and type. - Edit details, add notes, and manage multiple records together. - Record expenses, income, refunds, transfers, and transactions excluded from spending totals. - Record currencies separately and view totals for each currency. UNDERSTAND YOUR SPENDING - See your monthly income, net expenses, and remaining budget from the home screen. - Explore weekly, monthly, and yearly summaries. - View category and payment-method breakdowns, then open the records behind each total. - Review trends and revisit earlier periods. PLAN YOUR BUDGET - Set a total budget for the current month in a simple form. - Create more detailed budgets with categories and custom periods. - Check remaining amounts and see which budgets are over their limits. TAKE YOUR RECORDS WITH YOU - Export confirmed transactions as CSV. - Create a JSON backup with receipt attachments, budgets, and pending review progress. - Restore a backup by merging records into your existing ledger. ON-DEVICE RECEIPT RECOGNITION Shekelica uses Apple's on-device text recognition. Your ledger and receipt attachments are stored locally in the app. No account is required. Manual entry works without camera or photo-library access. Receipt recognition is a starting point: review amounts, dates, and transaction details before saving. Records in different currencies remain separate; Shekelica does not automatically convert them into a combined total.
