About Budget Companion
Photograph a paper receipt and save it straight to Budget on your own Nextcloud, with the photo attached to the transaction.
Budget Companion works with the Budget app for Nextcloud. It gets a transaction into Budget from your phone — usually by photographing the receipt, with a quick manual form for the ones that have no receipt at all — and it gives you a read-only check on where you stand: account balances, budget left this month, and bills due. Setup, import, reports, rules, reconciliation and all editing — budgets and bills included — stay in Budget's web interface.
• Snap a receipt, or share an image to the app from anywhere
• Your Budget server reads the receipt and fills in merchant, date and total
• Check it, adjust anything, and save
• Add a transaction by hand in seconds when there's no receipt to photograph
• Works offline: photos and entries are queued and sent when you're back online
• See your account balances, budget left this month, and bills due soon
• Recent activity, with split receipts and transfers shown properly
Receipt reading happens on your own Nextcloud server, using whatever backend your Budget installation is configured with. This app never sends your receipts anywhere else, holds no API keys, and collects no data about you.
You'll need a Nextcloud server with the Budget app installed.
Free software, licensed AGPL-3.0-or-later.

Subcategories in the category picker on Review and Quick Add are now listed under their parent, and the field shows the full path once one is picked, so two subcategories with the same name can be told apart.
