Screenshot Expense Capture
Track expenses from a screenshot, not a typing session
Paid on GPay, PhonePe, or Paytm? Share the payment screenshot into Spenrol and on-device OCR reads the amount and merchant for you. It's a UPI screenshot expense tracker built to skip the retyping, without asking for SMS or bank access.
The problem
Typing every transaction is where most trackers lose you
Manual expense trackers like Money Manager and Monefy ask you to type the amount, pick a merchant, and choose a category — every single time you spend. It works for a week. Then you skip one entry, then three, and by the second week the ledger is stale.
SMS-reading apps solve the effort problem, but by asking for access to every message in your inbox, not just bank alerts. That trade — full inbox access for less typing — is a bigger ask than most people are comfortable making.
Spenrol takes a third path. Pay on GPay, PhonePe, or Paytm, share the confirmation screenshot into Spenrol, and on-device OCR reads the amount and merchant. No typing, no SMS access — just the one screenshot you actively chose to share.
How it works
From payment to logged entry, in the share sheet
Pay and screenshot
Complete the payment on GPay, PhonePe, or Paytm. On the confirmation screen, take a screenshot the way you normally would.
Tap Share
Open the screenshot and tap Share from your phone's photo viewer or gallery — the same share sheet you'd use to send it on WhatsApp.
Choose Spenrol
Select Spenrol from the list of apps in the share sheet. The app opens with your screenshot already attached.
OCR reads the details
On-device OCR reads the amount and merchant straight off the image. Nothing about this step involves SMS, notifications, or bank access.
Confirm, categorise, tag
Check the auto-filled amount and merchant, edit if needed, pick a category, and tag the spend required, optional, or impulse — one tap, always your call.
Done
The entry is logged. It updates today's safe-to-spend number and rolls into your Smart Spending Score.
The boundary
What OCR reads, and what stays your call
Read automatically
The transaction amount and the merchant name, straight off the screenshot you shared, using on-device OCR.
Always your decision
The category and the intent tag — required, optional, or impulse. Spenrol never infers intent from OCR; that judgment call stays with you, every time.
