Never type a receipt again. ScanLedger turns your phone camera into a receipt scanner and expense tracker. Point it at a receipt and AI reads the merchant, date, total, subtotal, tax, tip, line items and currency for you, suggests a category, and flags anything that needs a second look. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Scan receipts with AI: every field gets a confidence tag, so you know what to double-check • Import from your photo library: scan up to 5 receipt photos at once • Keep scanning offline: with no connection, the receipt is read on your device • Catch mistakes: smart checks warn about possible duplicates, totals that don't add up, unusually large amounts and future dates • Add receipts by hand: manual entry for when the paper is gone • Find any receipt fast: search by merchant, category, note, tag or amount, filter by date, and see the original photo in list or grid view • Stay organized with tags and notes • Get clear scans in low light with flash on, off or auto SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES The monthly spending report shows your total spent, daily average, month-over-month change, a category chart, your 6-month trend and top merchant, and alerts you when a category runs high. An optional weekly recap keeps you up to date, and a reminder nudges you if you haven't scanned in a few days. READY FOR TAX TIME AND EXPENSE CLAIMS Export receipts by date range in two formats: • PDF expense report: one file with a summary, totals by category, the receipt list and your receipt photos • CSV spreadsheet: opens cleanly in Excel or Numbers Send it to your accountant, use it for self-employed bookkeeping, or attach it to an expense claim. MULTI-CURRENCY USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD and TRY. The currency is detected from the receipt, and reports are converted to your default currency. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED No sign-up. Your receipts and photos are stored on your phone, and you can delete all local data in one tap.
