Cashback Manager
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cashback Manager helps you collect monthly cashback categories from different banking apps in one place. Add a screenshot from a cashback category screen, and the app recognizes the bank, month, percentage rates, and category names. Recognized results are stored locally on your device and shown on the home screen grouped by bank, so you can quickly check which card fits a planned purchase. Features: - Cashback category recognition from screenshots. - Results grouped by bank and month. - Cashback rate comparison across saved categories. - Separate category lists for each bank. - Local storage of recognized data on your device. - Editing and deleting saved records. - Screenshot import from camera and gallery. - JSON backup export and restore. The app is not a banking app and does not represent any bank, payment system, or store. It helps organize information from your screenshots and does not make payments, transfers, or bank account operations. The local wallet keeps card photos on your device and recognizes QR codes when possible. Search, rename and present a card full screen. Cashback recognition from selected screenshots uses InetTools and OpenAI after your permission; manual entry is also available.

Verdict
