Thanks for the feedback! "Zero-effort bookkeeping" is exactly the vibe I'm going for. You nailed it — a lot of tools have the features but still feel overwhelming. I'm trying to make it so simple that you literally just snap a photo and forget about it until tax time.
Curious: what would "zero-effort" look like for your workflow? Anything specific that would make it feel truly hands-off?
Zero-effort for me = I just upload/snap and forget. No categorizing, no tagging, no cleanup. Everything gets auto-handled in the background, and I only check it when I need summaries or tax filing.
You have an idea.
$19 puts it in a real competition.
