SnapSpent is a minimal AI-powered expense app built with SwiftUI that lets you record spending the moment you snap a photo or screenshot of a bill. No manual typing, no fiddling with categories—just capture, and your expense is logged in under 3 seconds. Whether it’s dining, online shopping, transport, digital invoices, or reimbursement slips—SnapSpent automatically recognizes the amount, merchant, category, and tags, while intelligently managing your budget and spending history.

Expense Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Track every expense in seconds. No bank account, no linking, no surveillance. Expense Tracker is built for people who want to see where their money goes without handing over their bank login to a third party. Log a purchase, pick a category, done: the whole thing takes less time than finding your card. WHY MANUAL, ON PURPOSE Bank-linked apps are convenient until they're not: outages, security scares, endless "reconnect your account" prompts. Expense Tracker skips all of that. Your data stays on your device, nobody's servers, nobody's ads, nobody's business but yours. Take it with you any time: Pro exports everything you've logged as a spreadsheet. FREE, FOREVER, FOR REAL • Unlimited expense logging • 7 built-in categories • This month's spending at a glance The core never expires and never asks for a card. Every new install also gets 21 days of Pro to try; when that ends, the free core keeps working exactly as before. Nothing you already logged ever gets locked away. GO PRO IF YOU WANT MORE • Unlimited custom categories • Advanced reports & spending trends • Home screen widget • Extra themes • Export everything as a spreadsheet Pro is a one-time purchase. Pay once and it's yours on this Apple ID, forever, because we don't think a budgeting app should nag you with a subscription if you'd rather not have one. Simple. Private. Yours.
