Stop losing deductions. Snap a receipt. Log a mile. Done. PaperTrail is the expense organizer and mileage log built for contractors, freelancers, and self-employed workers who can't afford to miss a write-off at tax time. "I own a small business and this has been exactly what I needed. Helps out a ton with tracking my expenses for tax time." — John, App Store Review With PaperTrail, you can: - Scan and capture receipts in seconds — OCR extracts merchant, category, date, and total automatically - Track mileage with automatic GPS — start a trip, drive, end it. Miles calculated for you - Get instant IRS rate estimates for business, medical, and charity mileage - Tag receipts to clients or projects for billing, reimbursement, and job costing - Organize with folders, tags, and categories so every business expense is exactly where you need it - Search and filter by date, amount, category, merchant, client, and more - Export your receipt log and mileage log to PDF or CSV for taxes or reimbursements - Generate an annual tax summary PDF combining receipt totals and mileage in one clean report - Back up everything to iCloud — your receipt storage is protected even if you lose your phone - Track spending with visual breakdowns by category PaperTrail is built for the way 1099 workers actually operate. You're not sitting at a desk with a filing cabinet. You're on job sites, in client properties, running between appointments, buying materials on the fly. Every tax receipt matters. Every mile is a deduction you've earned. PaperTrail makes sure none of it slips through. Thermal receipts fade. Paper gets lost in the truck, the wash, or the junk drawer. Miles go unlogged because you forgot by the time you got home. PaperTrail captures everything the moment it happens — and keeps it searchable, backed up, and ready when your accountant needs it. Whether you're a contractor tracking job expenses across multiple projects, a gig worker separating business from personal, a freelancer managing 1099 income and deductions, or a real estate agent logging trip after trip between showings — PaperTrail handles the recordkeeping so you can focus on the work. No spreadsheets. No shoeboxes. No scrambling in April trying to reconstruct six months of business expenses from memory. Just a clean, organized expense journal that's always current, always backed up, and always ready. Your deductions are worth real money. The average self-employed worker leaves thousands on the table every year simply because they didn't track it. PaperTrail makes it effortless to capture every receipt and every mile — so when tax time comes, you hand your accountant a complete record instead of a pile of guesses. Download PaperTrail free. Every receipt. Every mile. Every deduction. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
