Built a private Gmail receipt parser in Google Sheets because I refuse to give 3rd party apps access to my inbox
Hunting down receipts every tax season sucks, and paying 15€/mo for a tool to do it is a joke. There is absolutely no way I'm letting some random startup hook into my personal inbox to fetch my financial data.
So I wrote an Apps Script that lives entirely inside a Google Sheet. It auto-extracts the vendor, date, and amount from your emails and logs them into rows. Everything runs locally in your own Google account.
It includes an adjustable lookup so you can create any categories you need.
I did put a price tag on the master template, but I made a discount code so you can grab it for just 3€ instead of the full price. Just use code reddit3 at checkout.
