1.  snap!

    ## A receipt? Just snap it.

    Receipt photos and payment screenshots land where they always do: in your photos. Nothing to upload, nowhere to sign in.

2.  on the phone

    ## Read right here, offline.

    Pick them from your photos. Our own AI, fine-tuned on thousands of real receipts, lifts the merchant, amount, date and items. The photo never leaves your phone.

3.  kept!

    ## Every receipt, a record.

    Each in its own currency, any of 31. Anything it is unsure of waits for you to check.

4.  ding!

    ## Pay anywhere. It logs itself.

    Your bank texts you and an Apple Shortcuts automation hands the message to Spenti. Saved on the phone before it is back in your pocket.

5.  no server

    ## Nothing to leak. Nowhere to send it.

    No Spenti account, no bank login, no Spenti server. By default nothing leaves this phone; backup and Your own AI are yours to switch on.

why Spenti is different

## Smart enough to read receipts. Small enough to stay on your phone.

0 Spenti servers

### Private first. Not private later.

Scanning and chat run on your phone by default. No Spenti account, no bank login, nothing sent to us: there is no server of ours to send it to.

270M parameters, fine-tuned by us

### Our own AI, trained on receipts.

Not a generic model behind an API. Small models we fine-tuned on 10,000+ real receipts and conversations, the crumpled and faded ones too, so a new layout does not throw them.

4 GB of memory is enough

### Runs on the iPhone you already have.

On-device AI usually means a new flagship. Spenti is quantized and tuned until the whole pipeline fits in 4 GB: it works best on iPhone 12 or newer, and older phones work, more slowly. iPhone and iPad, iOS 16 or later.

Your own AI on Pro, off by default

### Want a bigger brain? Bring your own.

Connect your own ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or OpenRouter account, or your own server: anything OpenAI-compatible, like vLLM, LM Studio or Ollama on your computer. It reads the text of each receipt and answers chat, in any language, straight from your phone, never through Spenti. Photos and bank messages never leave the phone. Switch back to On this phone any time. [How Your own AI works](https://spenti.app/your-own-ai/).

The receipt reader (about 230 MB) downloads on your first scan. Spending chat on this phone is an optional download of about 850 MB. After that, scanning and chat work offline unless you choose your own AI. Speed depends on the phone; older ones take a little longer per receipt.

how it works

## The receipt scanner does the tedious part.

1.  ### Point at your gallery

    Choose saved receipts and GCash, Maya or bank screenshots from your photos. Start with a small batch, then import more.

2.  ### Review what it reads

    Check the amount, date, merchant or recipient, and category. Correct any mistakes before relying on the records.

3.  ### Then just ask

    "My top three expenses this year?" Answered from your own data, on your own phone, or by your own AI if you turn it on.

What to expect, honestly

### GCash, Maya & bank screenshots

Send Money, QR Ph and InstaPay receipts from GCash, Maya and bank apps. Check the amount, date, recipient and Ref. No. after scanning. Spenti records what the screenshot shows; it never confirms the money arrived.

### Paper resibo

Fast food, convenience-store, supermarket and fuel receipts, VAT lines and all. Faded thermal paper and unusual layouts can need correction. Review the extracted fields against the original.

privacy, the whole point

## On your phone by default. Your own AI if you choose.

Receipts are read and questions answered on your phone, and nothing goes to Spenti: there is no Spenti server for your data. Turn on Your own AI (Pro) and the text goes to the provider you chose, never to us. The [Privacy Policy](https://spenti.app/privacy/) covers backups and network use.

### Try it offline after setup.

In On-this-phone mode, the default, turn on airplane mode after the model download and try scanning a receipt or asking a spending question. With Your own AI on, each scan is one request to your provider. The privacy policy explains when the app uses the network.

### We never ask for your GCash or bank login.

Scanning and chat need no Spenti account and no bank, GCash or Maya login — so there are no OTPs to share. If you enable cloud backup, you use your own iCloud or Google Drive account.

make your own level

## Name a place. Your AI paints it. You move in.

A moonlit beach, a campsite, your grandma’s kitchen: any place, real or made up. Four steps, a few minutes, with the AI you already use. Spenti never calls an AI itself.

Free on every plan

1.  ### Name a place

    Type it in a few words, or tap one of sixty ideas. Then pick a look: anime painting, watercolour, pixel art and more.

2.  ### Copy one prompt

    Paste it into ChatGPT, Gemini or any AI that makes pictures. It paints your place with Spenti’s furniture in it, and lists where each piece stands.

3.  ### Bring it back

    Save the picture, pick it in Spenti and paste the list. Spenti finds every piece; anything the AI missed, it draws in.

4.  ### Move in

    The corkboard holds your receipts, the calendar shows your week, the jar shows what is left. Name it, and send it to a friend if you like.

why build this

## Built in the open.

Spenti is an independent app. Support mail gets a real reply, the roadmap is public, and what ships next is decided by the people using it.

faq

## Questions, answered plainly.

### What should I expect before my first scan?

The receipt reader (about 230 MB) downloads on your first scan. Spending chat on this phone is an optional download of about 850 MB. After that, scanning and chat work offline unless you choose your own AI.

### Can Spenti read my GCash and Maya screenshots?

Yes. Import them from your photo library, even a whole batch at once. Spenti pulls out the merchant or recipient, amount, date and category for you to check before saving. It records what the screenshot shows and never confirms that a payment actually went through.

### Do I need to log in to GCash or my bank?

No. Spenti never asks for your bank, GCash or Maya login or OTP, and there is no Spenti account. Nothing is pulled from your wallet or bank account. What can add expenses automatically is bank messages, if you turn them on: on iPhone through a Shortcuts automation (Android is coming). They are read on the phone.

### Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Spenti is on iPhone (iOS 16 or later) today, and Android is next. We won't promise a date we can't keep — follow the [roadmap](https://spenti.app/roadmap/).

### Will it eat my mobile data?

Mostly at the start: the receipt reader (about 230 MB) downloads on your first scan, and spending chat on this phone is an optional download of about 850 MB, so use Wi-Fi. After that, scanning, budgets and spending chat work offline, unless you choose your own AI.

### Does Spenti issue BIR invoices or official receipts?

No. Spenti tracks your personal spending. It doesn't issue invoices or receipts or file taxes. On Basic or Pro you can export to CSV or Excel for your own records.

### Is the app in Filipino?

Yes. The whole app is available in English and Filipino, and each receipt keeps its own currency, so pesos stay pesos. Spending chat on the phone reads English or Thai; in Filipino it offers suggested questions in Filipino and answers them in Filipino, and with Your own AI (Pro) you can ask anything in Filipino.

### If Spenti has no servers for my data, where do my receipts live?

Your receipts and spending records are stored in a local database on your phone. Optional backup on Basic or Pro copies your data to your own iCloud or Google Drive account. Your phone's operating-system backup settings may also include app data. Spenti does not receive those backups.

### Does the AI send anything to OpenAI or Google?

Not unless you choose to. By default, receipt recognition and spending chat run on your phone and nothing is sent to any AI provider; after the model download both work offline. On Pro you can connect your own AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or OpenRouter); then only the text of a receipt and your chat questions go to that provider, under your own account, and never to Spenti. Photos and bank messages never go. [How Your own AI works](https://spenti.app/your-own-ai/).

### What is Your own AI?

A Pro option, off by default. Instead of the models on your phone, your own ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or OpenRouter account reads the text of each receipt and answers your spending questions, in any language. It can also be a server you run yourself: any OpenAI-compatible one, such as vLLM, LM Studio or Ollama on your own computer; enter its address and model ID. You connect it in Settings and can switch back to On this phone any time. Spenti never sees your key or your receipts; your provider bills you under its own pricing.

### Can Spenti add expenses from bank messages and Apple Pay?

Yes, on the phone. On iPhone, a Shortcuts automation hands each message to Spenti (bank SMS on iOS 17 or later, bank-app alerts on iOS 27 or later), and another files each Apple Pay payment; Android is coming. The message is read on the device and never sent anywhere, even with Your own AI on. Tuned for Thai banks and wallets, it also reads English-language alerts from US, UK and European banks, with general rules for Malaysia and the Philippines. Refunds lower your spending and money in never counts as spending. Each one filed counts as a scan; duplicates and ignored messages are free.

### What happens if I lose my phone?

Without a usable backup, you may lose the records stored on that phone. Basic and Pro offer optional backup to your own iCloud or Google Drive. Check that a recent backup is available before changing phones; you will need access to the same cloud account and any backup passphrase you set.

### How accurate is the scanning?

Results vary with the layout and image quality. Review the amount, date, merchant or recipient, and category, and correct any mistakes before relying on your spending totals.

### Does Spenti track income too?

Yes, as money in. Bank alerts and Apple Pay payments that bring money in are saved too: a refund, reversal or cashback becomes a Refund that lowers your spending when Spenti finds the purchase it refunds, and anything else becomes Money in, which never counts as spending. Any entry can be switched between Spent, Refund and Money in when you edit it, and the analysis and recap show In · Out · Left. Scanned receipts and screenshots stay expenses unless you switch them. Spenti does not track account balances.

## Keep it yours.
