About Smart Expense

Smart Expense is a mobile app for tracking money in and out. It offers six ways to add an entry: a manual form with AI category suggestions, a voice command, AI chat in which you type something like a coffee purchase, receipt upload that extracts the totals, email scan, and income tracking for salary, invoices and refunds.

The workflow is add, let AI clean it up (amount, date, notes and category), then review and approve. The email scan connects through IMAP and turns receipts found in the inbox into drafts, and the page says the app does not store your inbox. The app is available on Google Play and the App Store, and the homepage invites you to get started for free.
