A spending log you can actually keep up with. Open it, tap the amount, pick the account — done, in about three seconds, before you have put your wallet away. No bank to connect, no account to create, no setup wizard standing between you and the first entry. WHY THIS ONE STICKS Most budgeting apps are abandoned for the same reason: logging is a chore. So this one is built around a keypad instead of a form. The number pad opens first, the account you used last is already selected, and one tap files it. A Home-screen shortcut and a Siri shortcut jump straight to a new transaction, so it is two taps from a locked phone. It is a manual tracker, deliberately. It does not read your bank feed and it does not guess what you spent. You write it down, and in return you actually know where the money went. WHAT YOU CAN DO Log expenses, income and transfers Every entry is double-entry underneath — money always leaves one place and arrives in another — so your balances stay honest without you having to think about it. Keep accounts in different currencies Give each account its own currency. A card in dollars, cash in euros, savings in pounds: amounts are converted as you go and still add up to one balance you can trust. Budget by day, week, month or year Set a limit and watch what is left, not just what is gone. See where it actually went Charts by category, by account and over time, filtered to any date range — an answer in ten seconds, not a dashboard you have to study. Make it yours Name accounts what you call them, give each one an emoji and a colour, and hide the small change if round numbers are easier to read. PREMIUM Everything above is free. One unlock adds the things that save the most typing: • Scan a receipt instead of entering it — point the camera and the merchant, date, subtotal and total are read and filled in for you • Recurring transactions — rent, salary, subscriptions and loan payments log themselves, daily through annually • Category budgets — a separate limit for each category, not just one overall figure • Transaction notes — remember the "why" behind an entry Premium is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time purchase that never expires. Family Sharing is enabled, so a single purchase covers your family group. PRIVACY No ads, and no account to create. Your transactions are kept on your device; the only thing sent to a server is a receipt you choose to scan, so that it can be read for you.

Snap it. Leave the rest. Receiptic reads a photo of your receipt with AI: merchant, date, time, receipt number, total, VAT and every item you bought, one by one. You never type a single figure. IT READS LINE BY LINE Most apps take only the total from a receipt. Receiptic saves ten items on one receipt as ten separate lines. You see exactly what you paid for what. ONE FILE FOR YOUR ACCOUNTANT At month's end, generate an .xlsx and share it. Category summary, line-by-line breakdown and the VAT collected from your receipts, all in one file. BUDGETS AND STREAKS Set a monthly limit. You get a nudge at 90% of it. Every month you close under the limit extends your streak. NO BANK ACCOUNT REQUIRED No membership, no sign-up, no bank connection. Download, snap, done. Your expenses and receipt images stay on your phone. The receipt photo is sent only to be read, and you can turn that off in Settings — with it off, reading happens entirely on your device. 12 LANGUAGES, EVERY COUNTRY English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Japanese and Arabic. Currency follows your phone's region; a receipt you snap abroad keeps its own currency. ALSO • Home screen widget: this month's total, budget status, top category • Insights: "your coffee spending is up 40% from last month" • Month in review — a shareable card • Levels and XP: turns a boring chore into a game FREE AND PRO The free version scans 2 receipts a day, takes unlimited manual entries and exports the category summary to Excel. Budget goals, insights and the home screen widget also work in the free version. Pro: unlimited scanning, line-by-line Excel with VAT, and back-to-back scanning in one session.
