STOP LOSING RECEIPTS. START GETTING REIMBURSED. APSense is the expense tracker that actually works. Powered by Ademero's Cortexa AI—built on 20+ years of document extraction expertise—it reads receipts with industry-leading accuracy, learns from your corrections, and creates professional expense reports in seconds. ———————————————————— WHY APSENSE IS DIFFERENT ———————————————————— CORTEXA AI—STATE OF THE ART Built on Ademero's two decades of document extraction expertise. Our AI doesn't just read text—it uses multiple extraction strategies that vote against each other using intelligent scoring. When OCR misreads the total (happens 40-50% of the time with other apps), APSense calculates it correctly from subtotals, taxes, and tips. IT LEARNS FROM YOU Fix a vendor name or category once, and APSense remembers. Your corrections are synced across all your devices, making every future receipt from that vendor faster and more accurate. The more you use it, the smarter it gets. EMAIL YOUR RECEIPTS The feature competitors don't have. Forward any receipt to expenses@apsense.app and it's automatically added to your account. Tag with #workspace or @category. Get instant confirmation. No scanning required. GPS MILEAGE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Other apps count every GPS wobble as distance traveled. APSense uses smart filtering: - Rejects impossible speeds (>150 mph GPS jumps) - Filters drift when you're stationary (no phantom mileage) - Ignores inaccurate readings (weak GPS signals) - Adapts polling to save battery ———————————————————— CORE FEATURES ———————————————————— RECEIPT SCANNING - Cortexa AI extracts vendor, amount, date, category - Works with crumpled, faded, or partial receipts - Multi-page PDF support - Email receipt forwarding MILEAGE TRACKING (4 Ways) - GPS: Start trip, drive, stop.
