Split receipts into categories for Lunch Money
Stop splitting mixed charges by hand. The Receipt Rabbit iPhone app categorizes every line item, splits the matching Lunch Money transaction, and attaches the receipt.
Included on Plus ($4/month or $30/year) and Pro ($8/month or $60/year).
Turn one mixed transaction into clean category splits
A single card charge can hide several budget categories. Receipt Rabbit reads the receipt and splits the transaction already sitting in Lunch Money.
- Line-item categorization. The app categorizes every line item across 42 categories in 11 groups and maps them to your Lunch Money categories.
- One split per category. Items that share a category combine into a single split on the Lunch Money transaction.
- Item names in notes. Each split gets a note listing the item names from the receipt.
- Receipt attached. The original receipt photo or PDF attaches directly to the transaction in Lunch Money.
Updates the charge already in Lunch Money
Receipt Rabbit looks for the bank or card transaction that Lunch Money already imported and updates it in place. The app never creates a new Lunch Money transaction on its own.
- Automatic transaction matching. Matches the existing Lunch Money charge by amount, date, and payee.
- You decide on close matches. When several charges could match, the Pick a Match screen lists them, and you tap the right one.
- Cash receipts stay optional. If a receipt has no matching charge, like cash, you can choose to add it to Lunch Money.
- Multi-charge receipts. One receipt can be matched to more than one card charge when an order bills in parts.
Connect with your API token and your own categories
Setup uses your existing Lunch Money budget. Paste your API access token once, review how categories map, and let sync run in the background.
- Keychain token storage. Paste your Lunch Money API access token. The app checks it before saving and stores it in the iPhone Keychain.
- Category mapping. Confident category matches apply automatically, you set the rest, and you can edit any mapping in Settings.
- Automatic or manual sync. Sync runs automatically by default, with a Sync Now button available on the Sync tab.
- Private iCloud storage. Your receipts stay on your iPhone and in your private iCloud, with no Receipt Rabbit account or login required.
- Images not kept. Receipt images go to a server for categorization and are not retained afterward.
