How AuraInsights tracks your spending

How AI expense tracking works

AI expense tracking has three steps. The app receives a transaction from your bank or from a scanned receipt. A model reads the merchant and description and assigns a category. When you correct a category, the app remembers it for that merchant. In AuraInsights this is automatic on the Sync and Vision plans; Vision adds insights and a month-end forecast.

1. The transaction arrives from your bank or from a scanned receipt.
2. A model assigns it a category.
3. Your correction is remembered for that merchant.

Scan receipts with your phone

AuraInsights is a personal finance app for iPhone, available on the App Store, that scans receipts. Photograph a printed or on-screen receipt and it reads the merchant, total, currency and date, then suggests a category. Receipt scanning (Magic Scan) is part of the Sync and Vision plans, from 17.99 RON a month, and starts with a 14-day free trial. It works on Android too. Download from the App Store or Google Play.

1. Have an account ready. You need at least one cash wallet or a connected bank account.
2. Photograph the receipt. Point the camera at a printed or on-screen receipt and hold the phone steady for 1-2 seconds.
3. The app reads the receipt. It extracts the merchant, total, currency and date.
4. Check the details. The transaction is pre-filled, with a suggested category.
5. Save. Adjust anything that needs it, then tap Save.

See where your money goes each month

To see where your money goes each month, AuraInsights reads the transactions from your Romanian bank accounts, sorts them into categories and shows the monthly total for each. Add cash and scanned receipts for the rest. On the Vision plan it also points out unusual spending and forecasts the month-end total. On iOS and Android, with a 14-day free trial.

What data the AI sees

When you scan a receipt, the app processes the receipt image and the data read from it: merchant, date, total, currency and tax information. For receipt scanning and for financial insights we use AI services from processing partners. Some of them are outside the European Economic Area, and transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The partners are listed in the Privacy Policy.

Import a bank statement

If your bank does not connect, or you want the history from before you started, import a bank statement as a CSV, Excel, MT940, CAMT.053 or PDF file. The app reads it in memory without storing it, sorts the transactions into categories and shows you what it found before it writes them. You can undo the import afterwards.

Which plan you need

Automatic categories and receipt scanning are in the Sync and Vision plans. Insights, questions in plain language and the month-end forecast are in the Vision plan. Cash and manual entries work in every plan. See the prices.

What AuraInsights does not do

AuraInsights does not make payments or move money. It does not track investments and does not give financial advice. There are no shared family accounts: an account belongs to one user. It is a tracking app, not a bank and not a payment institution.
