About SmartLedger

What SmartLedger does

SmartLedger is an AI-powered expense tracking application for freelancers and solopreneurs. It collects receipts from your inbox or uploads, turns them into categorized ledger entries, and helps you understand where your money goes — without manual spreadsheet work.

  • Connect Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo

    Optionally link your mailbox so SmartLedger can set up receipt forwarding rules and scan finance-related messages when you ask it to.

  • Upload receipts

    Drag and drop photos or PDFs. AI extracts vendor, amount, date, and category into your ledger.

  • Email forwarding

    Each account gets a private inbound address. Forward receipts from any provider and they are parsed automatically.

  • AI parsing & categorization

    Receipts are read by AI models to build structured transactions tuned for freelancer and solopreneur expenses.

  • Review queue

    When the AI is unsure, items wait in a review queue so you can confirm before they hit your ledger.

  • Ledger, reports & export

    Track income and expenses, view monthly breakdowns and insights, and export data for your CPA or tax software.

  • Settings & account control

    Disconnect mailboxes, manage your profile, and permanently delete your account and data at any time.

Why SmartLedger requests your data

Mailbox access is optional and only starts when you click Connect in Settings. We explain what we collect, why we need it, and how to disconnect or delete your data.

What we may access
Why we need it
  • Account & sign-in

    Email address and authentication identifiers

    To create your account, keep you signed in, and associate receipts and transactions with you.

  • Receipts you upload

    Images, PDFs, and extracted fields (vendor, amount, date, category)

    To parse receipts with AI and build your ledger. Files are stored in private storage linked to your account.

  • Gmail (optional — only if you connect)

    OAuth tokens; forwarding settings; recent message metadata (subject, date, short preview)

    To add a receipt forwarding filter in Gmail, forward finance-related emails to your private SmartLedger address, and scan recent messages when you click Fetch receipts. We do not read your entire inbox, send email on your behalf, or use Gmail data for advertising.

  • Outlook / Microsoft mailbox (optional)

    OAuth tokens; inbox rules; recent message metadata (subject, date, body preview)

    To create a receipt forwarding rule in Outlook and scan recent messages when you request it. Same limits as Gmail — no ads, no resale of mailbox content.

  • Forwarded receipt emails

    Messages sent to your private inbound address and any attachments

    To extract transaction details from receipts that arrive by email forwarding.

We do not sell your data

Personal information is not sold to advertisers or data brokers.

You stay in control

Disconnect mailboxes in Settings or delete your entire account at any time.

Tokens encrypted at rest

Mailbox OAuth tokens are encrypted before storage.

Our full Privacy Policy describes collection, use, sharing with service providers (Supabase, OpenAI, Stripe, Google, Microsoft), and how to delete your data. This page and our Privacy Policy are publicly available — no sign-in required.
