Snapreceipt on Linux
Build from the open source or run the desktop build on Linux — same pay-once license, no telemetry.
Setup on Linux
Download the installer
Download the latest Snapreceipt installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/receipt-scanner-expense-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Snapreceipt runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Snapreceipt is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Snapreceipt on Linux — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Snapreceipt is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/receipt-scanner-expense-mvp. The $19 buys the 1-click Windows installer; building from source is free.
Do my receipt images get uploaded?
Not by default. OCR is 100% local and nothing auto-saves. Two optional exceptions you control: a one-time ~11 MB OCR language-data download at install, and the optional cloud OCR button (ChatGPT plan or your own OpenAI/Doubao key) which sends that one image only when you click it.
