Hey Product Hunt
I'm Robert — I spent the last year and a half building
Bookkeeping-OCR, a standalone desktop bookkeeping app for
solo business owners.
The short version of why: I was tired of paying monthly
for software that was built for businesses ten times my
size. So I built something right-sized.
The longer version: I built it almost entirely through
AI-assisted development — using Claude as my coding
partner across every stage. I'm not a trained developer.
I'm an implementation expert with 15 years of enterprise
IT experience who decided to learn by shipping something
real. The whole journey is documented in a LinkedIn series
called "The Rest of the Build" if you want the backstory.
What it does:
→ OCR receipt scanning — snap a photo, it reads the data
→ Revenue tracking with automatic tax calculation
→ Expense categorization with saved filters
→ Printable reports and CSV exports
→ Runs locally — no cloud, no subscription, no data leaving
your machine
One-time purchase. Mac and Windows. Free 30-day trial at
bookkeeping-ocr.com.
Happy to answer any questions — ask me anything.
