At this point I have tried them all and don’t like any of them. What I really want to know is more granular data on where I am spending my money on. These apps will tell me I spent $6000 last year at Costco but it cannot tell me if some that was on spur of the moment items like a new pair of bedsheets that I probably didn’t need or actual groceries.

What I want is an app that can do OCR recognition of the bill or invoice and categorize the individual items and not just the whole invoice into a broad category. Sadly this tech does not exists.

the funny thing is almost every major retailer with a loyalty program does this behind the scenes.. but they do NOT offer it as a data feed or API to customers. If they did, it would be awesome, but I think its mostly downsides for them.

Ideally something that scans the invoice and associates it with a bank transaction record.
