Hi, I'm the maker of Balanced.
I built it after getting tired of two things: copying tables out of bank PDFs, and converters that upload your statements to a server and hand back a file nobody checked.
Balanced runs entirely on your Mac. PDFKit reads text PDFs, Apple's Vision reads scans, and plain rules find the table, dates and amounts. No server, no AI service. Before you export it checks that the numbers add up: opening balance plus transactions equals the closing balance, invoice lines equal the invoice totals, and a seller report's net equals amount plus fees. If something is off it tells you which row to look at.
Version 1.1 adds marketplace seller reports (Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Shopify, PayPal, Stripe) and supplier invoices and receipts. Exports: CSV, Excel, OFX/QFX/QBO, QIF, YNAB, Actual, Xero, Beancount, Ledger.
What it is not great at yet: a bank layout it has not seen can need a column fix in the preview (it remembers the fix for that bank), and poor phone photos can still misread digits, which the totals check usually catches. The screenshots use made-up sample files.
The free version converts and checks everything and exports the first 10 lines per file. Pro is $59/year or $7.99/month for all lines, on up to 3 Macs.
If a statement reads wrong, I would like to know which bank and what went wrong (no need to send the file).
