I'm an iOS engineer by day, and SnapCents is my side project. Yes, I used AI tooling to write code faster. But the design, feature scope, and architecture decisions are mine - building iOS apps is what I do for a living, the AI is just to speed up the process of development. If you're skeptical because half the budget apps shipped this year are vibe-coded clones, that's fair. Here's what's actually different about this one.
What it does
- Scan receipts with the camera (on-device Vision OCR)
- Voice entry — say "coffee 4.50 at Starbucks" and it logs
- AI spending chat (on-device, requires iOS 26 + Apple Intelligence)
- Import PDF bank statements (no bank login — you download the statement yourself)
- Income tracking — log salary, refunds, gifts alongside expenses for a real cash-flow view
- Personal / business profile switch
- Multi-currency support
- Return-window alerts, subscription tracker, charts, custom categories
Free tier (no time limit, not a trial)
- 50 manual entries / month
- 5 receipt scans / month
- 5 AI chats / day
- 5 budgets, 3 recurring expenses
- Voice entry, income tracking, return alerts included
Pro: $3.99/mo · $29.99/yr (with 7-day trial) · $74.99 lifetime
3 months of Pro free — no card, no auto-renewal

You won't be charged after the 3 months. The subscription just ends and you fall back to the free tier (still very usable — 50 entries/mo, voice entry, income tracking, all included). If you decide you want Pro after the trial, you can upgrade then.

Honest feedback welcome — what's missing, what's confusing, what doesn't work. Especially interested in technical critique from anyone who's done on-device AI integration.
