BillBox keeps every invoice, utility bill and warranty in one place, so you stop digging through drawers and e-mail. Take a photo of a bill, upload a PDF or simply forward it to your personal BillBox address. The app reads the supplier, date, amount, IBAN and reference and fills in the form; you check the details next to the picture of the bill and save. The bill stays in BillBox even if you delete the photo from your phone. Paying is quick and typo-free: BillBox creates a payment QR code (EPC/SEPA for European banks, UPN for Slovenia) that you scan with your own banking app. You always see the payee, amount and reference before you pay. Keep shop receipts for warranties and returns: pick the product when you save the receipt and BillBox reminds you before the warranty runs out. What BillBox does: • reads bills from photos, PDFs and e-mail • shows the bill next to the form so you can verify in seconds • EPC and UPN payment QR codes for banking apps • reminders for due dates and expiring warranties • spending by category, month and supplier, PDF report export • several profiles (home, sole trader, second household) • export to CSV, PDF, ZIP and JSON for your accountant • English, German, Croatian, Italian and Slovenian Reading bills is free to try; for regular use choose the Moje plan (private users) or the Več plan (sole traders and small businesses).
