Shoebox: a receipt sorter for gig workers that never uploads a receipt

说明与用途

Shoebox 是一款离线收据分类工具，使用本地 Qwen3‑VL 8B 模型将收据按 IRS Schedule C 行分类，提供解释并导出 CSV，完全不上传数据。

问题

Gig workers and freelancers need to sort and categorize hundreds of receipts for tax deductions but face high costs for bookkeepers or privacy concerns with cloud expense apps.

结果

All seven sample receipts were correctly classified (7/7), totals matched expectations, processing cost was $0.00 per receipt, and the tool runs entirely offline after the initial model download.

工作流

• Place receipt photos in a folder
• Run python3 shoebox.py ./receipts --work "<job description>"
• Open http://localhost:8765 to review results
• Correct any misclassifications and tick "Looks right"
• Export the CSV for tax software or accountant

The coffee result is my favorite. The receipt had a note printed on it, "Met client re: logo revisions." The model used it to file the purchase as a business meal and applied the 50% limit for meals.

Results are cached in shoebox.json inside the folder, keyed by image hash, so re-runs only read new photos.
