Feature Feedback and Suggestions for Brim

First, I want to say that I love the app! I actually purchased the lifetime plan after only two days because I saw how actively you interact with the community and consider user feedback. It made me confident in the app's potential and motivated me to support what you're building.

I have a few suggestions:

1. Total bank balance without budgeting

It would be great to have an option to use Brim purely for expense tracking, with a simple view of the total balance across all bank accounts without requiring users to set up budgets. This could also help people monitor their spending and overall finances.

2. AI-powered Apple Shortcuts

An all-in-one shortcut that uses AI to extract transaction details from notifications, messages, emails, or screenshots and automatically fill in the amount, merchant, and notes would make expense logging much easier.

3. More reliable wallet triggers

I currently use shortcuts triggered by wallet transactions and notifications, but the wallet trigger doesn't always work, so I sometimes have to rely on notifications instead. Improving its reliability would help a lot.

4. AI-powered screenshot and email logging

I currently use Cloud AI in Apple Shortcuts to extract and summarize details from screenshots, receipts, and emails before logging them in Brim. For example, when I receive a purchase confirmation or airline booking, AI can identify the date, merchant, final amount paid, and a short description without including unnecessary surcharges or itemized breakdowns.

It would be amazing to have this built into Brim or supported through a dedicated shortcut, so we could share a screenshot or email, let AI do the work, and quickly log the transaction. Basically, less manual input and more automated expense tracking!

I really appreciate how open you are to feedback. It's one of the reasons I decided to invest in the lifetime plan so early. Keep up the great work, and I'm excited to see how Brim evolves!
