Turn your iPhone camera roll into a tax-ready spreadsheet — no App Store download, no installer. ExpenseBot runs in Safari, uses iOS's native photo picker, and reads every receipt with AI.

Proc. 97-22
🚀 How to Use (5 steps):
- Open Safari on your iPhone and go to expensebot.ai
- Sign in with Google or Apple (60 days free, no credit card)
- On the Add Expense tab (Expense on mobile), tap Upload Receipts — iOS's native photo picker opens
- Long-press the first receipt photo, then tap additional photos to multi-select
- Tap Upload — AI processes every image in parallel and writes each one to your Google Sheet
💡 Pro Tips:
- Add to Home Screen via Safari's share menu for a native-app feel (icon on home screen, full-screen UX) — no App Store required
- Batch your backlog: pick 50-100 receipts at a time from older dates to clear year-end backlog fast
- Live Text preview: long-press a receipt in Photos.app to preview the OCR text before uploading
- Privacy scoped: ExpenseBot only sees the specific photos you select in each session — never the full library
📸 What Gets Extracted from Each Photo:
- Merchant (cleaned — "CVS #4192" becomes "CVS Pharmacy")
- Total amount and currency (USD, CAD, EUR, GBP, 20+ more)
- Date (handles weird formats and partial cuts)
- Tax separately (US sales tax, GST/HST/QST, VAT, etc.)
- Category mapped to Schedule C / T2125 / custom
- Line items for itemized receipts
- Link back to the source photo in your Drive
🔐 Privacy:
- Safari photo picker is scoped per-upload — we only see what you pick
- Photos stored in YOUR Google Drive, not ExpenseBot servers
- No background scanning, no always-on access
- Cancel your account, data stays with you
