Hi Tom, I downloaded your app and love your attention to detail, and how it works. I think it's exactly what I've been looking for. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to change the units. I live in Canada and we use both pounds and kilograms here. By default, the app uses Kilograms in Canada, but most weightlifting gyms use pounds. Do you have a plan to add unit settings in the future?

Nice to see lots of LLM-generated text

I built ReceiptBin because I wanted a simple way to track receipts and link them to my budgeting app. There are plenty of apps that already do this, but most of them feel out of place on iOS and lock basic features like OCR and autofill behind paywalls. ReceiptBin uses Apple’s VisionKit and Foundation Models to handle OCR and autofill at no cost. Everything syncs through iCloud, and you can generate reports entirely on-device. There’s also support for widgets and Siri Shortcuts.

I’m planning to push another update in the next few weeks with bug fixes and some new functionality.

I agree. I switched to Codeberg but switched back after a few months. Funny enough, I found there to be more unreported downtime on Codeberg than GitHub.

Would you care to share a source citing the illegal activities?

Do you know if booklore syncs the page that you’re on?

I bought a Roborock after returning my Roomba, and it was the best choice I ever made. It works amazing, even in a house full of pets.

Depending on how many zones you have, prices have either gone up or gone down. I have 4 zones on my account and if I switch to the new Solo plan, I will be paying $2 extra per month for the same service.
