Built by a procrastinator, for procrastinators

Swipe Through Expenses Like a Game

It's April 14th. Your accountant needs categorized expenses. You have a shoebox of receipts and 6 bank CSVs. Sound familiar? Inspense turns the most dreaded tax chore into something almost... fun?

One-time purchase. No subscription. No account. No excuses.

Go ahead, it's satisfying - swipe or press H/B/C/S

Drag cards or use keyboard: H / B / C / S

^ That's it. That's the whole app. Swipe left, swipe right, done.

We've All Been There

Freelancer? Contractor? Small business owner? Side hustler? Yeah, we know.

"I'll Do It Tomorrow"

You've been saying that since January. It's now April. The spreadsheet is still empty. We get it.

CSV Chaos

6 bank accounts, 4 credit cards, 3 different date formats. Chase thinks you need 47 columns. You need a drink.

Subscription Fatigue

QuickBooks wants $20/month. Keeper wants $16/month. You want to stop paying rent to software companies.

The Existential Dread

Was that $47 at Target a business expense? Who even knows anymore. You bought a stapler AND snacks.

Stupidly Simple

Tinder for Your Transactions

Swipe right on business expenses. Swipe left on personal. That's it. No 47-step onboarding. No connecting bank accounts. No monthly fees. Just drag a card, press a key, feel the dopamine.

  • 🎯Keyboard shortcuts - H for Home, B for Business, C for Corp. Speed run your taxes.
  • 🤖AI suggestions - Claude looks at "STARBUCKS" and says "probably personal." You just confirm.
  • 🔒100% local - Your data never leaves your Mac. Not even we can see it.
  • 💸$20 once, forever - 500 AI credits included. That's 3-5 years of normal use.

It's Weirdly Fun

Users report "accidentally" categorizing all 500 transactions in one sitting. We call it productive procrastination.

No Bloat. No BS.

We don't do invoicing, mileage tracking, or "business insights." We do one thing: help you sort expenses fast.

📥
Drop Any CSV

Chase, Amex, Bank of America, that random credit union - we figure out the format. Just drag and drop.

Speed Run Mode

Keyboard shortcuts let you categorize 100+ transactions in minutes. It's like a typing test, but useful.

🧠
AI That Actually Helps

Claude suggests categories based on merchant names. "ADOBE" → probably business. "UBER EATS" → probably regret.

🔐
Your Data, Your Mac

Everything stays on your computer. We literally cannot see your data. That's not a feature, that's just how it works.

From "Oh No" to "Done" in 20 Minutes

Seriously. We timed it. Most people finish their whole year in under an hour.

01

Dump Your CSVs

Download statements from your banks. Drag them in. We handle the rest. No "connecting accounts" nonsense.

02

Swipe Like Tinder

Cards appear. AI suggests. You confirm with a keystroke. H-B-C-S. It's oddly satisfying. Some call it meditative.

10-15 min
03

Send to Your Accountant

Export a clean CSV. Send it over. Watch them not complain for once. Maybe they'll even say thanks.

30 sec

Stop Renting Software

While everyone else charges monthly "subscriptions" to access your own data, we just... don't.

QuickBooks:$240/year
Keeper Tax:$192/year

Frequently Asked Questions

Wait, is this actually private?

Yes. Like, actually. Your data lives in a SQLite file on YOUR Mac. We never see it. We can't see it. When AI helps categorize, only merchant names go to Claude (not amounts, account numbers, or your embarrassing late-night Amazon purchases). We're not building a fintech empire here, just a tool that works.

What happens when I use all 500 AI credits?

First: that's 3-5 years of normal use. Second: you can add your own Anthropic API key (it's like $1/month for most people). Third: the app still works without AI - you just swipe manually. No hostage situation.

Will this work with my weird bank?

Probably! If your bank can export a CSV (they all can), Inspense can import it. We auto-detect Chase, Amex, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and more. For that random credit union your parents made you join? Our CSV wizard lets you map columns manually. We've seen it all.

Why $20? What's the catch?

No catch. We're a small team (hi!) that got tired of paying $200/year for expense software. So we built the tool we wanted. $20 covers our costs, the AI credits, and lets us buy coffee. That's the whole business model.

Is this a subscription in disguise?

Nope. $20 once. You own it. If we shut down tomorrow (we won't), the app still works on your Mac forever. Your data is yours. This is how software used to work, and we think it still should.

Why Mac only?

We're starting where we can actually support the product well. Windows and Linux are coming once we nail the Mac experience. We'd rather be really good on one platform than mediocre on three.

Your Future Self Will Thank You

April 14th is coming whether you like it or not. But next year, you could be the person who already did their expenses. Imagine.

One coffee's worth of procrastination prevention.
