The Problem

Tracking expenses manually is slow; existing budget apps lock data in the cloud. People who self-host (Actual Budget) end up with no easy mobile capture flow -- receipts pile up, transactions never get logged.

The Solution

Built a drop-in template on the OpenClaw multi-agent framework: photograph a Thai bank slip via Telegram, vision OCR extracts amount/date/payee, the agent logs it to your self-hosted Actual Budget, and you can query budgets in natural language. Receipts to budget in under 30 seconds.
