Receipt scanner that runs a fine-tuned 0.8B vision model on the phone (free) - detailed cost tracking

I wanted to track grocery spending per item without sending my receipts to anyone, so I built an Android app around a small vision model that reads a photo of a receipt into JSON: store, date, total, every line item. (iOS will take a couple more days to be checked by the Apple team.)

Key points

  • Also, most apps only allow broad categories like “Food” or whatever, but I wanted to see a more detailed breakdown, e.g. 150 euros for coffee...
  • I fine-tuned Qwen3.5 0.8B and OvisOCR2 (which is itself a Qwen3.5 0.8B finetune) on receipt data.
  • (The models used by the app will be published as open source (to use with your own Server) )
  • I would appreciate feedback from different devices !
