Three useful outcomes

Use the receipt once. Keep the detail for later.

  1. Capture the receipt

    Use receipt photos or manual entry. Scanning creates a proposed draft, not a final record.

  2. Review every proposal

    Check the store, date, total, item names, prices, categories, and household choices before saving.

  3. Read the monthly view

    Use the receipts you confirmed to understand item, category, essential, and optional totals.

Scope: Radish summarizes the reviewed receipts you save. Missing receipts mean an incomplete history.
