With on-device parsing, OCR, and interactive charts, SpendingLens lets you analyze spending habits, track categories, and review multi-year trends without uploading financial records to third-party servers.

WHY SPENDINGLENS?
----------------------------------------

Most finance apps require linking bank accounts or uploading statements to remote servers, exposing sensitive transaction history to third-party aggregators and advertisers.

SpendingLens takes the opposite approach. Built specifically for Apple platforms, all document processing, OCR scanning, transaction extraction, and analytics happen 100% locally on your device using native Apple frameworks. Your financial data remains entirely yours.
