Description
Turn your paper receipts into YNAB transactions—instantly, privately, and intelligently.
Receipts for YNAB is the smart receipt scanner built exclusively for YNAB (You Need A Budget) users. Powered by Apple Intelligence, the app reads your receipts on-device, extracts key details, and syncs them to your YNAB budget in seconds—all while keeping your data completely private.
No servers. No ads. No tracking. Just fast, accurate, and secure receipt scanning made for YNAB.
AI-Powered Receipt Scanning
Use your iPhone camera or document scanner to capture paper receipts. Apple Intelligence automatically extracts:
• Merchant name
• Transaction date
• Total amount
• Line items (subtransactions)
• Suggested YNAB categories
Everything happens on your device—nothing leaves your iPhone.
Seamless YNAB Integration
Receipts for YNAB connects securely using OAuth2 with PKCE, letting you:
• Choose your YNAB budget and account
• Create new transactions directly from scanned receipts
• Sync line items as subtransactions
• Update existing synced receipts
• Refresh your YNAB connection automatically
You're always in control. Sync only when you choose to.
Confidence Scoring
Know exactly how accurate your scan is before syncing. Each extraction is scored for:
• OCR quality
• Data completeness

Review and edit data before sending it to YNAB for complete accuracy.
