PayChunk: Cash Budget App

PayChunk is a cash budgeting app that doesn't need your bank account. Budget by paycheck, scan receipts with AI, and track every dollar you spend — all without linking a single financial account. Most budgeting apps want access to your bank. PayChunk doesn't. If you use cash, get tips, work gig jobs, or simply don't trust apps with your bank credentials — PayChunk is built for you. KEY FEATURES: 💰 CASH ENVELOPE BUDGETING • Digital cash stuffing — divide your paycheck into budget envelopes • Built around your pay periods, not arbitrary calendar months • Works with weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly pay • Drag sliders to set your budget for each category • See exactly how much cash is left in each envelope 📸 AI RECEIPT SCANNER • Snap a photo of any receipt and AI reads it instantly • Automatically extracts merchant name, line items, and total • AI suggests the right budget category for each purchase • Import bank statements or PDF documents too 📊 SPENDING TRACKER • Color-coded categories with visual progress bars • See at a glance which categories are on track or over budget • Custom categories and sub-budgets (Premium) • Rollover unused budget to next pay period (Premium) 💼 BUSINESS EXPENSE TRACKING • Flag purchases as tax deductible • Track business expenses separately for tax season • Perfect for freelancers, gig workers, and side hustles 🔒 NO BANK ACCOUNT NEEDED • No bank linking — ever.
