TallyVally turns the paper in your pocket into a spending record with every line in it. Photograph a receipt or upload a PDF, and you get the store, the date, each item, each discount and the total. No typing. No bank login. No account to create. One photo, every line item Point the camera at a receipt, pick a screenshot out of your photos, or upload a PDF from Files. TallyVally reads the store, the date, every item with its price and quantity, the discounts and the total, then sorts each item into a category. Review it, tap save. Anything it misreads you can fix by hand. See what you saved, not just what you spent Coupons, loyalty discounts and fuel points come straight off the receipt and get added up for you. Your bank can see what left your account. It can’t see the coupon printed on the paper. TallyVally shows you both, and which stores are actually worth the trip. Ask a question, get a real answer “What did I spend on groceries this year?” “Where is coffee cheapest?” “When did I last shop there?” Ask in your own words. Every amount is calculated on your phone from the receipts already on it, down to a single item inside a receipt you paid for in another currency. Not an estimate. On an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence you can switch chat to run entirely on the device. It is free, unlimited, and no summary of your spending is sent anywhere to answer you. Reading a receipt still uses the cloud. Your whole year, already added up Open Spending for a calendar year, or tap one month to zoom in. Your total, how it compares with the same stretch of last year, a twelve month chart, your categories ranked, your stores ranked, and where the savings came from. Traveling? TallyVally reads the currency from each receipt and keeps it with that purchase, then converts it at the published rate from the day you paid, so a total from last March doesn’t move tomorrow. Keep a copy, if you want one TallyVally can save a copy of the photo or PDF each receipt was scanned from, so you can look at it later without keeping the paper. Tap a saved photo to open it full screen and zoom in. It stays off until you turn it on, it applies to new receipts only, and Settings can delete every copy it saved. Your money stays yours Your receipts live on your iPhone. No account, no sync between devices, no copy of your spending on our servers. Export everything to a spreadsheet whenever you like. Reading a receipt sends that photo or PDF to Google’s Gemini AI, so whatever is printed on it gets read, including the payment method and a card’s last four digits. TallyVally never asks for or stores a full card number, PIN or CVV. Chat sends a summary only, never card details, and a stricter setting sends totals alone. No tracking, no ads, nothing sold. Free, and genuinely generous Start with 10 scans that never expire and 10 questions, then 3 more scans and 5 more questions at the top of every month. A scan that fails never counts. Your full history, every breakdown, your saved receipts, export and on-device chat stay free and unlimited, always. Premium removes both limits: scan as many receipts as you like, and ask as many questions as you like. Nothing else changes, because nothing else is locked.
