Renosaur
Renosaur is an all-in-one renovation management platform designed to bring order to home improvement chaos. It allows users to organize their projects room by room, tracking tasks, budgets, and receipts in one place. The platform's AI-powered receipt scanner extracts line items, merchant details, and totals from photos, automatically categorizing expenses under the relevant project and room. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures accurate cost tracking. Beyond receipt management, Renosaur offers an expenses report that rolls up spending across all projects, with filters for room, tag, and date range. A shared shopping list syncs in real time, enabling partners or contractors to tick off items as they buy them. The tool also stores before-and-after photo pairs per room, stores important contacts like plumbers and electricians, and supports inviting collaborators to the same notebook for seamless coordination. Renosaur features an AI assistant named Rex, which can answer renovation-related questions, retrieve specific data about projects (such as where a receipt went), and even execute actions like adding tasks or setting budgets. The assistant is context-aware, understanding the user's rooms, budgets, and spending history to provide personalized help. The service is entirely web-based, works on mobile devices, and is free to use with no credit card required. Users can export their data at any time, avoiding vendor lock-in.
