Popcorn - Budget Tracker

Popcorn is a smart, privacy-first personal finance app that makes expense tracking effortless. Snap a photo of any receipt and let the on-device AI instantly extract the amount, date, merchant, and category — no internet required, your data never leaves your phone.

Why Popcorn exists:
This budgeting app emerged into existence by the hands of the developers that has seen way too much money going nowhere because of poor or no budgeting, we also experienced how it feels to end the month with nothing left in our bank accounts too! With the fast pacing the world around us has, it is quite easy to lose track of your annual, monthly, or even daily spendings! This is why Popcorn exists, to help you budget, and really build a habit of it.

The naming of our app is also put into thought, before a popcorn is a popcorn, it's just a single piece of corn: cheap, bland, and not appealing. However, with the right amount of pressure, it becomes a popcorn, much more expressive and impressive! We hope this simple idea helps you build a habit of budgeting: pushing yourself to do it as well as being consistent about it, the result is anything you could hope for!
