Could you build this?
Partial Parsing arbitrary bank statement PDFs and categorizing financial transactions entirely on-device requires specialized local ML models and fine-tuned Apple CoreML pipelines.
What it would actually take: The app must be built in Swift using Vision framework for OCR and CoreML/Apple Foundation Models for semantic transaction categorization and subscription extraction. The core difficulty lies in accurately extracting heterogeneous tabular data from hundreds of different banking PDF layouts without sending data to cloud-based LLMs.
