Everything ExpenseGauge does, one page each.

It starts with a photo of a receipt and ends with a straight answer about your month. Everything in between is here — each with the real screen it happens on, photographed from the app itself.

Every picture on these pages is a real screen of the app, taken from a household made up for the purpose: invented shops, real readings.

The home screen of ExpenseGauge on a phone with 29 days of October left. A dial shows $2,825.20 left to spend, $97.42 a day, $574.80 spent of a $3,400.00 budget, comparisons with September, the last seven days and the year, and where the money went this month by pocket. — The home screen: the month, the pace, and where the money went.

The features

Pick whichever one you came for.

A phone in the receipt scanner of ExpenseGauge. A photographed bakery receipt sits in a frame with the words: trim the photo, or send it as it is. Below it are buttons to rotate left, rotate right, reset, cancel and use photo.

Receipt scanner that reads every line, not just the total

Photograph a receipt or send its PDF. The shop, the date, the tax and every line are read, sorted into pockets and checked against what the paper says.

The ExpenseGauge home screen on a phone with a card in front of it reading: statement processed. Underneath, how many transactions were added, how many were already on file, and that the money that came in was left out because it is not spending.

Bank and credit card statements, read line by line

Send a photo or the PDF of a bank or card statement. Every payment out becomes an entry, money coming in is left out, and nothing is added twice.

The Ask screen of ExpenseGauge on a phone. The question asked is how much did I spend eating out this month. The answer reads: you spent $109.92 on dining and fast food this month, with the Casa Rosa receipt from 2 October listed beneath it and suggestions for other questions.

Ask about your spending in plain words, in your own language

The home screen of ExpenseGauge on a phone on 3 October with 29 days left. A dial shows $2,825.20 left to spend, $97.42 a day, and $574.80 spent of a $3,400.00 budget. Below it, comparisons with September, the last seven days and the year, then where the money went this month: tools and hardware, groceries, eating out and transport, each with a bar.

A monthly budget that warns you before the month is over

Give the month a figure and see what is left, what that comes to a day, and whether your pace is heading past it, with every pocket of spending laid out.

A project in ExpenseGauge on a phone called Lisbon, September. It shows $742.00 and €105.90 spent, from five receipts, with buttons to add receipts and to split between people, and the receipts in it listed below, from Livraria Ribeira at €18.90 to Alfama Tram Kiosk at €6.40.

Trips, projects and events, with receipts in two currencies

Put a trip, a renovation or a party in a project of its own, with its own budget. Euros stay euros, and what the trip cost in each currency is plain to see.

The split sheet of ExpenseGauge on a phone for the Maple and Main receipt of 1 October, $111.79, split equally between Alex, Sara, Marc and Priya. Alex’s share is $27.97 and each of the others owes $27.94 with a paid button beside them. $83.82 is owed to you, with a button to make a picture to share.

Split a receipt or a shared bill without anyone keeping score

Split a receipt equally, by shares or by fixed amounts, see who has paid you back, and share a clear picture of who owes what, item by item if you want.

The receipts list of ExpenseGauge on a phone. The Hardware Corner receipt of 3 October for $199.41 carries a line reading: can be taken back in 26 days. Around it are other receipts with their dates, categories and amounts.

Return windows and warranties, counted down for you

Set the last day to take something back and the end of its warranty. The receipt counts the days down, so a return is not lost to the calendar.

The Fixed costs sheet of ExpenseGauge on a phone. A box to type a line such as rent 1800 on the 1st every month, quick buttons for rent, mortgage, phone, internet, insurance, subscription and something else, and the costs already added: rent $1,850.00 on the 1st of every month and internet $65.00 on the 15th. A summary says how much of this month is promised and how much has not gone out yet.

Rent, bills and subscriptions: the money that never has a receipt

Tell the app about rent, the phone bill or a subscription once, in one line, and it counts in every month it is due. It even spots the ones your receipts reveal.

The Write it down form of ExpenseGauge on a phone, filled in from speech. A say it instead button sits at the top. The shop is Bloor Street Bakery, the amount 12.5 in Canadian dollars, the date 3 October 2026 and what it was for, two coffees. Beneath it: heard, I paid $12.50 for two coffees at Bloor Street Bakery, check it, then press save.

Add receipts by voice, or straight from Telegram

Say what you bought and the form fills itself in. Or skip the app: send a photo, a PDF, a typed line or a voice message to the Telegram bot.

The download sheet of ExpenseGauge on a phone titled download receipts, explaining that it downloads the photos only, named by date and store, and that a spreadsheet comes from export to Excel. Buttons offer this month, this year and everything, with a cancel button below.

Does it connect to my bank?

No. You send your statements as a photo or a PDF, so nothing ever has your banking password.
