BillSnap: Privacy-First Local Invoice & Receipt Extractor for Freelancers

BillSnap and Receipt Box are privacy-focused tools created for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge. Both applications target freelancers by providing local-first invoice and receipt extraction to avoid cloud SaaS data leaks. Using open-weight vision models, these tools parse PDFs and photos to identify vendors, dates, VAT, and currencies. While BillSnap emphasizes local financial parsing, Receipt Box offers a comprehensive expense dashboard featuring total spend tracking and VAT-by-quarter tables for streamlined accounting processes.
