Capture quickly, review briefly, keep things tidy. This is not a giant finance app. It is a calm utility for faster expense capture, with clear monthly totals, categories and payer breakdowns afterwards. 1. Scan a receipt: Capture a receipt with the camera or import an image from your photo library. 2. Review the OCR suggestion: Merchant, date and amount are suggested automatically. You stay in control and confirm them yourself. 3. Choose category and payer: Assign the expense properly, whether it is for your household, a trip or shared spending. 4. See the monthly overview: Keep totals, categories, reports and payer breakdowns in view without the usual spreadsheet circus. Everything that actually helps when logging expenses. No loud fintech posturing. Just the features that are genuinely useful in everyday life, in shared households or while travelling. OCR instead of typing Scan a receipt and let the app suggest merchant, date and amount automatically. You confirm what gets saved OCR is useful, not magical. That is why you can review and correct the details before saving. Monthly overview at a glance See how much you logged this month and which categories are doing the damage. For households and trips Assign expenses to people, for example in a household or a small travel group. Multiple currencies Capture receipts in other currencies and check live exchange rates when you want to apply them. Local and account-free No signup, no cloud, no external OCR API. Your data stays on your device. Your receipts stay with you. BonBudget processes your expenses locally on your iPhone. There is no user account, no receipt backend, no cloud sync and no external OCR API. - Camera and photo access only for capturing receipts - OCR runs through Apple Vision on your iPhone - Data stays stored locally - No accounts, no cloud, no subscription Everyday spending, households and trips.
