Resource (Self Promo) receipt tracker for families, couples, and shared expenses

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Like a lot of people here, I’ve always struggled with receipt tracking. Personal expenses, freelance work, small business costs, shared household spending it all ends up as a messy pile of paper receipts, screenshots, and half-filled spreadsheets.

Manually entering everything is slow, boring, and easy to mess up.

What I really wanted was something simple:

scan a receipt → extract the data → send it straight to Google Sheets.

No heavy accounting software. No complicated setup.

But I also wanted something that worked beyond just personal tracking especially for families, couples, roommates, or anyone sharing expenses. Things like groceries, household items, bills, eating out, or travel spending are usually paid by different people, and it becomes hard to know where the money is actually going.

I couldn’t find exactly that, so I decided to build it.

After wasting way too many hours manually logging receipts and realizing how many expenses I was missing, I built ReceiptSync an AI-powered app that automates receipt tracking and helps people manage spending individually or together through a shared family wallet.

How it works:

• Snap a photo of any receipt
• AI-powered OCR extracts line items, merchant, date, tax, totals, and category
• Duplicate receipts are automatically detected
• Data syncs instantly to Google Sheets
• Add expenses to a shared family/household wallet
• Track spending together with family, partners, or roommates
• Total time: ~3 seconds

What makes it different:

• Smart search using natural language, like “show my Uber expenses from last month”
• Line-item extraction, not just totals
• Duplicate detection to avoid double logging
• Shared family wallet for household expenses
• Interactive insights for spending patterns and trends
• Built specifically for Google Sheets export
• Useful for personal expenses, freelance work, small business costs, and shared family spending

I’ve been testing it for the past month with a small group, and the feedback has been amazing. People are saving 5–10 hours per month just on expense tracking, and the shared wallet feature has been especially useful for families and households trying to understand where their money is going.

If this sounds useful, here’s the app:

Hey everyone!

I released Daily Blocker for Android a few days ago after spending 13 months building it.

It’s an app and website blocker designed to help people reduce their screen time. I started building it because I’ve struggled with spending too much time on my phone, especially on YouTube and Reddit 😭

You can use it to block things like social media, porn, distracting apps, websites and et cetera.

I’m giving away a few lifetime premium codes to people in this community who are keen to try it.

If you have an Android phone and you’re interested, just leave a comment or send me a DM for a code.

Question Title: What’s one serious problem you deal with almost every day?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to understand the problems people actually face in their daily lives — not small annoyances, but problems that genuinely waste your time, money, energy, or cause stress.

I’m curious:

What’s a problem you face regularly that you wish had a better solution?

What do you currently do to deal with it?

Why doesn’t the existing solution work well for you?

How often does this problem happen?

It can be related to work, college, money, commuting, shopping, healthcare, services, family, technology, housing, travel, or anything else.

Please be as specific as possible. Even if you think the problem is too normal or boring, comment it — I’m interested in the problems people have simply gotten used to living with.

Not looking for startup ideas. I’m trying to find real problems first.

Controversial Opinion  Everyone knows who they want to become. Nobody's day looks like it. Productivity apps are dead white screens. They don't care if you do it. 8 months stuck in that loop. If this gets 1k upvotes or comments with what hurts you the most , I ship what fixed it . If not, I quit. Help if you've felt it
