About Expense Ninja
Expense Ninja turns paper receipts and photos into clean spending records, then helps you budget and see where your money goes. Scan. Track. Thrive. Most people lose receipts, forget small purchases, and only notice overspending at the end of the month. Snap a receipt, read the details on your iPhone, and keep every expense in one calm place. SCAN RECEIPTS IN SECONDS Point your camera or import a photo. Expense Ninja reads the receipt on your device and picks up the merchant, total, date, and line items so you don’t type every expense by hand. When it recognizes a category, that category is filled in. If it can’t tell, you choose one before you save. Review the result, edit anything that looks off, and save. You can also add expenses manually. What you can capture: • Merchant / store name • Total amount and currency • Date of purchase • Category (groceries, dining, transport, and more) • Line items from the receipt • Notes for later Receipt photos are read on the iPhone and are not uploaded. TRACK EVERY EXPENSE Home shows spent this month, your monthly budget, top categories, and recent transactions. Search by merchant, category, or note. Filter by date, category, payment, or source. Use built-in categories — Groceries, Dining, Transport, Shopping, Health, Education, Entertainment, and Utilities — or create your own. Stay in control with: • Monthly spend totals • Category breakdowns • Recent transactions • Recurring expenses (weekly, monthly, yearly) • Past-month budget reports you can open and download • A base currency, plus other currencies converted with the daily public rate STAY ON BUDGET Set a monthly limit per category and see spent versus remaining. Premium can warn you as a category nears its limit. Over-budget states are clear. SPENDING INSIGHTS Compare this week with last week and this month with last month. See which categories cost the most and where spending is rising. The deeper insight details are part of Premium. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • Light and dark themes, or follow the system • English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic, Indonesian, and Chinese • Sign in with Apple, Google, or email • Face ID or Touch ID lock • Camera scan, photo import, or manual entry • Custom categories and colors HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan a receipt or add an expense 2. Confirm merchant, amount, and category 3. Watch Home, Insights, and Budgets update 4. Adjust limits when a category runs hot No bank login. Expense Ninja is not an account aggregator. Your expenses stay on this iPhone. FREE VS PREMIUM Free includes 5 receipt scans a day, 10 manual expenses a day, and up to 10 categories. Premium unlocks: • Unlimited receipt scans • Unlimited categories and daily expenses • Advanced spending insights • Smart budget alerts • Expenses recorded in any currency Premium is an auto-renewable subscription: • Monthly: $2.99 per month after a 7-day free trial • Yearly: $29.99 per year after a 7-day free trial Payment is charged to your Apple ID.

WHO IT’S FOR People who want a simple expense tracker without linking a bank, households watching groceries and dining, and anyone who wants budgets that stay visible. PRIVACY Camera access is used only to scan receipts. Photos are read on your device. Expense Ninja does not sell your personal data. You can review and edit every scan before it is saved.
