User-configured Shortcuts flow
Spend Scout guides setup for an on-device flow that can pass chosen Wallet transaction details into the app.
Spend Scout • Apple Pay expense tracker
Apple Pay expense tracking with Shortcuts.
Spend Scout helps you track chosen Apple Pay details through a user-configured Shortcuts flow. It is an on-device handoff: no direct Wallet access, no bank login, and no third-party transaction aggregator.
How it works
A Wallet transaction shortcut expense tracker, not Wallet scraping.
Only chosen fields
The automation passes details you choose, such as amount, merchant, currency, and date.
No direct Wallet access
Spend Scout does not read Wallet history directly and does not connect to your bank.
The boundary is simple: Shortcuts passes only the transaction details you choose, then Spend Scout keeps the resulting expense entry reviewable alongside the rest of your logged spending.
