Features
Built for YNAB users who want fast, private, and accurate receipt scanning.
Extracts merchant names, dates, amounts, and line items automatically. Neural Engine document detection with perspective correction delivers 98% price extraction accuracy.
Your receipts never leave your device. All processing happens on-device with no cloud uploads or external servers.
Save receipts locally and upload to YNAB when you're ready. Line items become subtransactions with categories from your budget.
Use camera, photo library, or document scanner. Quality validation ensures clear scans for accurate extraction.
See exactly how accurate each extraction is before syncing. Review the AI's breakdown and edit if needed.
Apple Intelligence learns your preferences to categorize line items into groceries, household, pets, gifts, and more. All learning happens on-device — the app gets smarter with every receipt, privately.
Connect multiple YNAB budgets and switch between them. Each budget keeps its own accounts, categories, and preferences.
Store receipts locally for warranties, returns, and expense tracking — even without a YNAB account. Your personal receipt archive, always on your device.

Community Voices
Real pain points from real YNAB users shaped how this app works.
"I don't know why in today's age YNAB can't have a photo import tool. Snap the picture of the receipt and it enters the data into the fields."
"My problem is usually a long grocery receipt with lots of different categories (groceries, household, treats, etc.)... Do you just put the whole thing under one category, or do you actually split things out?"
"For receipts that have a lot of categories I'll pick one for the time being then correct it when I get home with the receipt... it's more work to do that later."

Yes, an active YNAB subscription is required to sync receipts. You can scan and store locally without YNAB.
No. Receipts for YNAB is an independent app by eTurea. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by YNAB.
iPhone and iPad running iOS 26 or iPadOS 26. AI scanning requires Apple Intelligence — iPhone 15 Pro or newer, iPad Pro (M1+), iPad Air (M1+), or iPad mini (A17 Pro). Other devices can use manual entry.
Never. All processing happens on your device using Apple Intelligence. We don't operate any servers that collect your data.
Only transaction details (merchant, date, amount, category) when you explicitly sync. Never your receipt images.
Receipt scanning works completely offline. An internet connection is only needed to sync to YNAB.
Receipts for YNAB is available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, India, Ireland, and South Africa. We're working on expanding to more regions!
The app extracts line items, not tax directly. When syncing to YNAB, it calculates the difference between the total and item sum, creating a separate "Tax/Fees/Rounding" line automatically.
