Every finished shop becomes a card in History. Photograph the receipt and the app reads the item prices and the total straight onto that card β€” no typing. The reading happens entirely on your phone; the photo never leaves it. You review everything before a single price is saved.

Scan a receipt onto a shop

  1. 1
    On the History tab, tap the notepad icon on the card for that shop.
  2. 2
    Photograph the receipt (or pick a photo from your gallery). The app reads it on-device β€” you'll see "Reading receipt…" for a moment.
  3. 3
    The Receipt prices review sheet opens, matching receipt lines to the items you bought. Check it over, then tap Save.

The notepad icon turns blue on cards that have prices saved, and the card shows the trip total.

The review β€” nothing saves without you

  • Each matched line shows the item and the price read from the receipt. Untick anything it got wrong, or tap a price to correct it.
  • The receipt total is cross-checked β€” if the selected prices don't add up to the printed total, the sheet says so and you can review before saving.
  • Quantity differs? If the receipt says 2 but your list said 1, a "Qty differs β€” tap to review" chip appears β€” your saved quantity is only changed if you confirm.
  • Re-scans never duplicate β€” scanning the same receipt again just lets you update prices; it won't double your items.
  • Bad photo? Retake and Open Gallery are right there on the sheet.

Shopped without the app? Log it from the receipt

Popped into a shop without making a list? Tap "Log a shop from a receipt" in the History tab's top bar. The app creates a fresh trip, opens the camera, and reads the receipt β€” your impulse shop becomes a proper History card with items and prices.

It's the easiest way to keep your spending record complete without changing how you shop.

Edit any trip by hand

No receipt, or the scanner missed something? Tap the pencil icon on any History card to open Edit card:

  • Add or remove items, and edit each item's quantity and price.
  • Discount / adjustment β€” a negative amount for that loyalty discount, positive for the carrier bag.
  • Live totals β€” items total, adjustment, and card total update as you type. Save when it matches reality.

Your receipt photos

  • View or replace β€” the photo lives with its card: tap the pencil icon and use the Receipt Photo row to view, retake, or delete it.
  • Backed up β€” receipt photos are included in your backups, so a restored phone gets them back.
  • Spring cleaning β€” Settings β†’ Backup shows how much space photos use, with a "Delete photos older than…" button (1, 3, 6, 12 months β€” or all). Cards keep their items and prices either way.

Privacy & honest limits

  • 100% on-device β€” the text recognition runs on your phone. Receipt photos and the prices read from them are never uploaded anywhere.
  • Receipts are messy β€” faded ink, crumples, and odd layouts can confuse the reader. Flatten the receipt, use good light, and remember: you always review before saving, and anything can be fixed in Edit card.
  • Saved prices stay saved β€” scanning never silently overwrites what's already on a card; changes go through the review or the editor, with you confirming.
