Yes, you can build receipt scanning, expense reports and an approval flow with Vibecode.
You can build an iPhone app that turns receipt photos into expenses and groups them into reports. Shared reports and real approvals need user accounts and a cloud database, while receipt scanning needs checks for mistakes.

The checker split your own version of Expensify into its key parts and sorted each one.
Scan receipts
Use the camera or photo library, then AI to extract the merchant, date and total using Vibecode credits.
Works out of the box
Review and edit expenses
Vibecode can build editable expense forms and save drafts on your device.
Works out of the box
Create expense reports
Group expenses into a named report with receipt images and a calculated total.
Works out of the box
Submit reports for approval
Use Vibecode Cloud on Plus for accounts, shared reports and an approver inbox with approve or return actions.
Needs setup
An iPhone app makes it easy to photograph receipts and submit expenses on the go.
Plan ahead: Receipts can contain sensitive details, so restrict report access to the submitter and assigned approver and require a review of scanned amounts.
Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build an iPhone app for employees who scan receipts and send expense reports to a manager. The main screen should show draft, submitted and approved reports with their totals. Let me add a receipt from the camera or photo library, then show simulated extracted merchant, date, category and amount fields that I can edit. Let me group expenses into a report and tap Submit. Include a clearly labeled demo approver view where I can open a report, inspect its receipts, and approve it or return it with a comment. Use realistic sample receipts and reports, with simulated scanning and approvals for now. Use a clean white layout with navy text, green status badges and large, clear buttons.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: add a receipt photo and review sample extracted expense details; group expenses into a report and see its total; try a sample submission and approver review flow. Plan on a weekend for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Expensify, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year).
Expensify connects expense reports to its banking partners, company cards and reimbursement services, beyond scanning receipts and routing approvals.
