# Cashout

> Cashout is a personal expense manager for Android and iOS. Log expenses by hand or by scanning a receipt, split them with friends and groups, run recurring bills on autopilot and settle shared balances, all of it working offline and syncing when you're back online.

## Write-up

### Features

#### 🧾 Receipt Scanning and AI Chat

Snap a receipt and Cashout fills in the expense for you. Receipts, typed messages and voice notes in the Home chat box are read by Gemini Flash through a Supabase Edge Function, which returns structured JSON. Every user gets a monthly allowance of AI credits, so there is no API key to bring.

#### 👥 Splits, Groups and Settling Up

Expenses can be split with people or groups using five split methods. Groups are shared between real Cashout accounts: the owner invites members by their Google email, everyone sees their own share and balances, and changes arrive live through Supabase Realtime.

#### 🔁 Recurring Bills

Rent, subscriptions and other repeating costs run on schedules that either add themselves automatically or remind you to log them.

#### 📴 Offline First

Every write lands in a local SQLite outbox and returns instantly. The outbox replays in order when connectivity returns, with backoff retries, and queued changes are overlaid on the cached server data so the app always shows the latest state, even after a restart.

#### 🔐 Supabase Backend

Postgres with row-level security, Storage for receipt photos and avatars, and Google sign-in. The app itself is built with Flutter using atomic design, from atoms up to pages, with a single store that applies every change locally before writing it through.
