SnapSpend is a private, local-first spending tracker that makes capturing where your money goes effortless. Point your camera at a receipt and on-device AI reads the merchant, total, and date for you โ€” then you confirm before saving. Scanning and parsing happen entirely on your iPhone. WHY SNAPSPEND โ€ข Private by design โ€” your data lives on your device by default, not on someone else's server. No ads, no tracking, no analytics. โ€ข Effortless capture โ€” scan a receipt or add an entry in seconds. โ€ข Import statements โ€” bring in bank and card activity from PDF or CSV. โ€ข One unified ledger โ€” cash, cards, and more in a single place. โ€ข Smart categories โ€” transactions are auto-categorized from the merchant, and you can always adjust. โ€ข Multi-currency โ€” foreign spending rolls up into your base currency. The only network use is fetching public exchange rates, and no personal data is sent. โ€ข Receipts you keep โ€” the photo is stored with the transaction for returns, warranty, and expenses. โ€ข Subscriptions โ€” recurring charges are detected automatically, with price-hike alerts and a yearly-cost estimate. โ€ข Split expenses โ€” share a bill and count only your part; the rest is tracked as owed back to you. โ€ข Siri & Shortcuts โ€” log spending by voice or a Home-Screen button, wire up an automation to capture a payment the moment you tap, and ask Siri how much you've spent. โ€ข Clear insights โ€” see what you've spent this month at a glance, and export to CSV or PDF. SNAPSPEND PRO (optional) โ€ข iCloud sync keeps your data in step across your devices, in your own private iCloud. Sync is off by default. Built for people who want an accurate picture of their spending without handing their bank logins to a third party. Terms of Use: https://snapspend.pages.dev/terms.html
