🧾 TaxHacker — Self-Hosted AI That Reads Your Receipts So You Don't Have To

What if you could photograph a pile of receipts and have AI sort everything into a perfect spreadsheet — without sending a single byte to someone else's cloud?

That's exactly what TaxHacker does.

This open-source tool lets freelancers and small business owners upload receipts, invoices, and PDFs. The AI automatically extracts merchant names, amounts, dates, tax details, and line items into a structured database.

🎯 Why it stands out:

• Fully self-hosted via Docker — your financial data never leaves your machine
• Supports 170+ currencies and 14 cryptocurrencies with automatic historical exchange rate conversion
• Choose your AI: OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, or run local models through Ollama
• Reads multi-language documents, even handwriting
• Customizable categories, projects, and extraction rules
• CSV export with attachments for tax season

Think of it as a tireless accountant that never miskeys a number and never shares your data with anyone.

For anyone juggling clients across multiple countries and currencies, the automatic exchange rate lookup alone is worth the setup time.

MIT licensed and already at 5.1k GitHub stars, TaxHacker is a serious contender for anyone who wants AI-powered accounting without the privacy trade-off.
