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)

• Native YNAB integration
SMART RECEIPT SCANNING
Use your iPhone camera to capture any receipt. Apple Intelligence extracts:
• Merchant name and date

• 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.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This update is about the app doing what it told you it did.
• Delete All Data now clears your receipt photographs. Images stored outside the main database were being left behind while deletion reported success. They are removed now.
• Honest wording on deletion: the app clears its own data, and anything already uploaded stays in your YNAB account. The old text promised more than the app can reach.
• Honest sign-out: if the app cannot confirm your YNAB credential was removed, it says so and refuses to use it, instead of reporting a success it did not earn.
• Nothing lingers between sessions. A reply from YNAB that arrives after you sign out can no longer refill accounts and categories behind your new session.
• Bank-matched receipts stay in sync. A receipt your bank matches keeps the bank's date and keeps syncing, instead of quietly dropping out.
• Editing the same receipt in two places now tells you about the conflict, rather than letting one change overwrite the other.
• Accessibility: bigger hit targets on Change Account and Save Locally, Reduce Motion respected in more places, and VoiceOver now speaks the uncategorized state on a line item.
• Smaller fixes: a $0.00 line item is refused with the reason shown, quantity steps to the next whole unit, a blank merchant names the field instead of showing a storage error, and the sync sheet shows account names rather than raw identifiers.
• New app icon.
Plus reliability improvements under the hood.
