Receipt-based grocery tracking
Radish builds a grocery spending view from receipts you scan or add by hand. It does not connect to a bank account or import a transaction feed; you review the items before they enter monthly totals.
Last updated: August 15, 2026.
Free to download. Review and save one receipt before choosing a monthly or yearly plan for continued use. Requires iOS 18 or later. Optimized for English-language US grocery receipts and USD totals. Manual entry remains available.
How it works
Scan selected receipt photos after giving permission, or enter the receipt by hand.
Check the store, date, total, item names, prices, categories, and household choices.
Confirmed items become category totals and an essential-or-optional split for the selected month.
This approach trades automatic transaction imports for item-level detail and a reviewable record of what was inside each grocery purchase.
Bank-feed approach: imported account transactions.
Radish approach: receipts you scan or add by hand.
Bank-feed approach: usually the merchant and transaction total.
Radish approach: reviewed items, prices, categories, and household choices.
Bank-feed approach: connect a supported financial account.
Radish approach: no bank login and no separate Radish email-and-password account.
Bank-feed approach: transactions arrive automatically but may need category cleanup.
Radish approach: add and review each receipt you want included.
Radish is for people who want the products behind grocery totals and are willing to keep their receipt history complete.
This privacy choice is narrower than claiming that the product never uses a service. The next section explains the service boundaries directly.
Optional scan
After explicit permission, Radish can send up to four receipt photos through its Cloudflare-hosted service to OpenAI. The response is an editable draft, not an automatically saved record.
Manual path
Decline or disable scanning and add the receipt by hand. Turning scanning off stops future scan uploads, but it cannot recall a request that was already sent.
Saved history
Saved receipt history stays on the iPhone and can be sealed through Radish Core for iCloud/CloudKit household sync. Apple services remain subject to Apple’s own policies and availability.
Read the complete Privacy Policy for processing, security metadata, provider retention, deletion, iCloud, and website-log boundaries.
These answers separate the bank-free workflow from its real processing and sync boundaries.
Yes. Radish builds the grocery view from receipts you scan or add by hand. It does not connect to a bank account, read balances, or import a transaction feed.
No separate Radish email-and-password account is required. Apple services handle subscription billing and can support sealed household sync when available, but Radish does not ask for a bank login.
Yes. You can add a receipt by hand. Receipt scanning is optional and starts only after you give permission; declining or disabling it leaves manual entry available.
Radish can send up to four selected receipt photos through its Cloudflare-hosted receipt service to OpenAI to create an editable draft. You review that draft before saving it.
No. Radish does not sell grocery data, show ads, use receipt data for advertising, or use analytics for cross-app tracking. Limited product analytics excludes receipt content and grocery details.
The view is incomplete when receipts are missing or not confirmed. Radish does not see balances, income, or other transactions, and it does not forecast spending, recommend a budget, or promise savings.
