Receipt scanning

Scan a receipt. Skip the typing.

Paper receipts pile up and then get lost. Scan one when you add an expense, check what SmartWalt picked up, and save it with the rest of your spending.

  • Start from the Scan receipt button on the add-expense screen
  • Review the details before anything is saved
  • Free monthly allowance; unlimited on Pro

Free to download · 14-day free Pro trial, no card · No bank login required

How it works

Scan, check, save

Receipt scanning is built into the screen you already use to add an expense, so there is no separate tool to open.

  1. 1Tap + and choose Expense, then tap Scan receipt.
  2. 2Photograph the receipt. SmartWalt reads the purchase details.
  3. 3Check the amount, note, category and date. Fix anything that is off, then save.

Scanned receipts stay in your history

Scanned expenses appear in Activity with your other transactions. Use the Receipts filter to look at receipt-based entries, or narrow by week, month and category.

  • Receipts filter in Activity
  • Search in plain words, such as "food last week over 1000"
  • Edit an entry at any time

Budgets

Receipts feed your budgets automatically

A scanned receipt is a normal expense, so it counts toward the category limit and the monthly budget you set in the Plan tab. You see what is left without any extra step.
