Tired of splitting your Costco receipt across 5 YNAB categories? Snap a photo—AI extracts every line item, auto-suggests splits, and syncs to YNAB. Your receipts never leave your iPhone.
Built from feedback by 100+ r/YNAB users who asked: "Why can't I just snap a receipt and have it enter the data?" We built exactly that—with privacy at the core.
THE ONLY RECEIPT SCANNER WITH:
• On-device AI (receipts NEVER uploaded to any server)
• Automatic split transaction support
• Native YNAB integration
SMART RECEIPT SCANNING
Use your iPhone camera to capture any receipt. Apple Intelligence extracts:
• Merchant name and date
• Total amount
• Individual line items
• Suggested YNAB categories
Everything happens on your device. Nothing leaves your iPhone.
AUTO-SPLIT COMPLEX RECEIPTS
That 47-item Costco haul? AI sorts it into groceries, household, pets, and gifts—each as a YNAB subtransaction. Review, adjust, sync. Done before you reach the car.

What's new (v1.1.0)
Find your receipts without sharing them.
v1.1.0 adds private receipt links: a short code in each YNAB transaction memo that lets you jump back to the receipt image stored privately on your device. Copy the code from any YNAB transaction, paste it in the Receipts tab, and the matching receipt opens.
Already have receipts synced under earlier versions? Settings → Add Link Codes to Existing Receipts will add codes to those too, in the background.
No uploads. No third-party services. No tracking. Your receipt images never leave your iPhone.
