Receipt Wrangler is a free, open-source, self-hosted receipt management application that uses AI and OCR to scan, categorize, and split expenses among users.
🚀 Overview
Receipt Wrangler is a self-hosted app designed to simplify receipt management. It allows users to upload receipt images, where AI automatically extracts key data like items, totals, and dates using OCR technology. Users can categorize expenses, share receipts with others, split costs, and track balances to avoid confusion over who owes what.
The project solves the common pain of disorganized paper or digital receipts, manual data entry, and coordinating group expenses without privacy-invasive cloud services. It's built for self-hosters who value data ownership.
Created by Noah Hall (Noah231515 on GitHub) and developed with community contributions, it started as a way to manage personal and shared receipts with insights into spending patterns.
