About

ReceWise

Read full description

ReceWise turns your paper receipts into a clear picture of what you actually buy. Point your camera at a receipt from anywhere you shop and ReceWise reads it. Every line item, price, and store, organized for you. Or add and edit purchases by hand whenever you'd rather do it yourself. WHAT YOU CAN DO Scan any receipt instantly. Groceries, hardware, pharmacy, restaurants, online orders take a photo and ReceWise extracts each item and price automatically. Review the results before saving, so nothing lands in your history that you didn't approve. Enter and edit manually. Add a purchase without a receipt, fix an item ReceWise misread, or adjust a price your history stays accurate either way. See your real spending. Browse every purchase by item, store, or date. Search your history to find what you paid for something last time, and where you bought it. Know when to restock. ReceWise learns how often you buy the things you buy regularly, so you can see what's likely running low before you head out. Track prices over time. Watch what your regular items actually cost across different trips and stores. WHY PEOPLE USE IT Most budgeting apps show you a total from a store. ReceWise shows you the items. That's the difference between knowing you spent $140 and knowing which $140. Whether you're keeping an eye on household spending, tracking business expenses, or just tired of shoeboxes full of paper, ReceWise keeps the detail without the data entry. Your receipts stay private to your account. ReceWise requires an internet connection to scan and sync your purchases
