WHY SPENDINGLENS?
----------------------------------------
Most finance apps require linking bank accounts or uploading statements to remote servers, exposing sensitive transaction history to third-party aggregators and advertisers.
SpendingLens takes the opposite approach. Built specifically for Apple platforms, all document processing, OCR scanning, transaction extraction, and analytics happen 100% locally on your device using native Apple frameworks. Your financial data remains entirely yours.
