Why SpendPouch
Freelancing is the work. The bookkeeping shouldn't be.
Most trackers are built for budgets and bank feeds. SpendPouch is built for the person who has to justify every expense at tax time — without handing over a bank login.
Sorting business vs. VAT becomes a scramble.
Tax-ready as you spend
Flag an expense business, deductible, and set its VAT rate in the moment — SpendPouch keeps the net · VAT · gross split and monthly totals for you.
You never quite know your real number.
Profit you can actually see
Log income next to expenses and watch it become a live profit & loss — plus invoices you can issue and mark as paid.
How it works
Fast capture. Quiet review. Records you can trust.
Capture the moment
Type a quick note, hold to speak, or scan a receipt or PDF — whatever is fastest right then.
Confirm the details
Amount, merchant, category, VAT, and proof stay editable. Nothing becomes a record until you say so.
Keep the trail
Receipts, recurring items, reminders, and exports stay organized — without turning into a heavy dashboard.
Built for freelancers
Mark what's business. Capture the VAT.
Flag an expense as business or tax-deductible and set a VAT rate — SpendPouch fills the inclusive tax automatically and shows a clear net · VAT · gross split. Monthly totals live in Insights, ready for your records.
Proof, OCR & optional AI
Receipts and PDFs, right by the expense.
Scan with the iOS document scanner and review the on-device OCR. Prefer a shortcut? Optional AI Assist reads the extracted text to draft the amount, VAT, and merchant — you confirm every field, and your receipt images and PDFs never leave the device.
