Automate your expenses with Apple Intelligence and Shortcuts. ReceiptGPT is the smartest way to track spending on iOS. Built exclusively for Apple, it automatically captures receipt data from notifications and screen content, eliminating manual entry entirely. Key Features: • Screen to Expense. After you trigger it, Apple Intelligence reads the captured screen and picks out the amount, the merchant, and the category. The text stays on your iPhone. • Write down a purchase. Amount, merchant, category, note. Set & Forget repeats it every week or once a month, on the days you choose. • Know Your Limit. Each category has an envelope. See what is left, what today still allows, and how the month is moving. Stay on Track when you go over: raise that envelope, or share the extra with categories that still have room. • Finance at a Glance. Four widgets follow the app, on iPhone and iPad. Today, today's budget, this month, and the months behind you. You choose how each one looks. Try the app and the Shortcuts for seven days.
