HSA Buddy is a simple companion for tracking HSA reimbursements in your own Google Sheets and Google Drive. Log a medical receipt — vendor, amount, date, image — and HSA Buddy writes it straight to a spreadsheet in your Google account, and saves the receipt image to a folder in your Drive. That's it. No server. No HSA Buddy account. No syncing. Your records live where you can see them, search them, export them, and own them. Why your own Drive? • Audit-ready: keep every receipt in one place for tax time or your HSA administrator. • Portable: open the spreadsheet from any device, share it with a spouse, export it to CSV. • Private by default: HSA Buddy can only see the spreadsheet and receipts folder it created — nothing else in your Drive. Features • Quick capture: photograph or pick a receipt, fill three fields, save. • Smart list: filter by active, archived, or all; total amount and count at a glance. • Swipe-to-archive: keep your active list tidy without losing history. • Image viewer: open any saved receipt in-app. • Per-file Drive scope: HSA Buddy requests only `drive.file` access and cannot read any other files in your Drive. Privacy HSA Buddy does not operate a server. Your receipts, amounts, and notes live exclusively in your own Google Drive and Google Sheets. You can revoke HSA Buddy's access or delete your account from inside the app at any time. Read the full policy at hsabuddyhq.com/privacy. Requires a Google account.

HSA Receipts makes it easy to save, organize, and use receipts for future HSA reimbursements. Take a photo of a medical receipt, enter the important details, and keep everything organized on your phone. HSA Receipts tracks your unreimbursed expenses so you can quickly see how much you may be able to reimburse yourself from your HSA. Features include: • Save receipt photos and expense details • Track unreimbursed and paid-back expenses • Search and filter your receipt history • See your total unreimbursed expenses in one place • Create a reimbursement-ready PDF packet with receipt images • Export your records to CSV for Excel or Google Sheets • Back up your receipts and restore them on a new phone • Explore illustrations of how money left invested in an HSA could compound over time • Learn about commonly overlooked HSA-qualified expenses Designed with privacy in mind Your receipt information and photos are stored on your device. They do not pass through our servers. Your information leaves your phone only when you choose to export, back up, or share it. Access to the app can also be protected with a PIN and Face ID. HSA Receipts is an organizational and educational tool. It does not determine whether a particular expense qualifies for HSA reimbursement and does not provide tax, legal, medical, or investment advice. Consult your HSA administrator or a qualified professional when determining eligibility or making financial decisions.
