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.
