What it does

Hey Product Hunt! Honestly, I built Aora because I was fed up with expense apps that felt like they were stuck in 2012. Most of them are just too slow—you take a photo, wait for a "cloud upload," and hope it works. Plus, the idea of some random company having a database of everything I buy always sketched me out. What’s actually different here is that we moved all the AI onto your phone. Since the OCR happens on-device, it's insanely fast—no It also means your data stays on your device.

Aora is a smart receipt tracker and bills manager app. Snap, scan, and organize receipts instantly with AI-powered processing. Track expenses, manage bills, and simplify tax preparation - all offline and secure.

  • Write It Down – Personal finance tracker2025 · write-it-down.com · ▲271

    Everyone’s chasing AI hype. I built a Google Sheet and it quietly took off. In 2020, I made it to track my own finances for income, expenses, savings, yearly summaries etc. I shared it once on Reddit, forgot about it for a year… When I checked back, it had over 130k views and I was honestly stoked! No launch. No funding. No AI. Just a spreadsheet people actually stick with and find useful. I finally gave it a proper home: write-it-down.com Now, more than 2,300 people use it. It’s intentionally boring and that’s why it works. People don’t always need AI. They just need something that actually…

  • ReceiptIQ Pro — Snap & Track Spending2025 · receiptiq.me · ▲13

    Hi HN! I’m a solo iOS dev who kept losing track of where my grocery and shopping money was going, so I built ReceiptIQ Pro. What it does: - Scan any receipt with on-device AI/OCR and instantly categorize the items. - Auto-build spending charts, budgets, and exportable CSVs—no manual typing. - Works offline; iCloud backup/restore optional. No data leaves your phone unless you choose to. - Small extras: warranty reminders, bill tracking, and income logging. Tech bits: - Swift/SwiftUI on iOS. - Apple’s Vision framework + my own ML post-processing. - A lightweight Python backend…

    Hi HN! I'm excited to share that Treasury (https://treasury.sh) is now available on the iOS App Store. Treasury is a personal finance app I've been building, and we just opened up our public beta. We'd love your feedback. Currently, Treasury has a set of core building blocks that let you create financial setups as simple or as complex as you want. You can track your net worth, analyze spending, spot recurring transactions, and build budgets that actually match how you think about money. Download it from the App Store and let me know what you think.

    API that falls back to humans when AI is unsureJan 2026 · sync-ai-11fj.vercel.app · ▲5

    Hey HN, I’m the founder of SyncAI. Previously, I was building internal tools for a fintech startup. We tried using GPT-4 Vision and various OCR APIs to automate our Accounts Payable. They worked great for ~90% of documents. The problem was the other 10%: crumpled receipts, handwritten delivery notes, or invoices with weird layouts. In fintech, a 90% success rate isn’t automation; it’s a liability. We spent more time fixing the AI’s hallucinations than if we had just typed it manually. I realized that for high-stakes operations, we didn’t need "better AI"—we needed a Safety Layer. So I built…

  • ParsePoint – AI OCR that pipes any invoice straight into Excel2025 · parsepoint.app · ▲9

    Hi HN, I run a small ecommerce shop and, until recently, spent way too many evenings copy-pasting supplier invoices into Excel so my books stayed clean and my expense tracking was granular. It finally hit me that I’d rather invest that time in code than in Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, so I built ParsePoint.app. Why I built it • Manual invoice entry was swallowing 4 hours every month. • Accounting software APIs felt heavyweight for my use-case; I really just wanted clean rows in a spreadsheet. • I love tinkering with AI models and needed an excuse to spin one up in production. What it does 1. Upload a…

  • OpBoardFeb 2026 · opboard.io · ▲7

    I’m a financial analyst, and for years I managed our family budget in a massive Excel sheet. I loved the control, but it eventually became an "unpaid second job" of fixing broken CSV formats and patching formulas. The real problem: The spreadsheet was a barrier, not a bridge. It didn’t help me have better money conversations at home. Telling my wife “Dining is high” wasn't helpful; we needed to see where we were overspending (e.g., that one specific cafe vs. grocery runs) without me having to act as a "human pivot table" every Sunday night. I didn't want an app that required our bank…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
