ScanarX — Privacy‑first Receipt Scanner

ScanarX is a lightweight, local‑first receipt scanner and analytics app for iPhone and iPad. Scan receipts with the device camera, run on‑device OCR and parsing, categorize expenses, and export CSV/PDF — all stored locally by default.

Features

• On‑device scanning & OCR — document camera, auto‑crop, perspective correction, and local OCR.
• Deterministic parsing — extracts totals, dates, merchant names, taxes, and payment methods.
• Category analytics — donut charts, category rows, monthly/yearly pickers, and per‑category exports.
• Flexible exports — CSV for periods or categories, PDF per receipt, and share image + OCR text.
• Local‑first privacy — scans, OCR results, parsed fields, and exports remain on the device unless you explicitly share or export.
• Optional on‑device AI — Apple Intelligence classification when available and enabled (device dependent).
• Widget support — optional App Group for a small shared cache between app and widget.
• Robust settings — default currency, default category, export month selector, and full data clear option.
• Accessibility — VoiceOver labels and dynamic type support.
• Simple monetization — one‑time paid app (no subscriptions required).
