CarEx is the fastest way to keep every car receipt in one place โ€” without typing a thing. Point your camera at a fuel slip, a service invoice, a parking ticket or an EV charging receipt. CarEx auto-crops the page, reads the total, the vendor and the date, picks the right category, and saves it to the right car. Years of receipts become a single searchable, exportable log. WHAT YOU GET -Smart scanner. Crops the receipt and fills in every field. You only review and tap save. -Multi-car. Daily driver, weekend car, company van, family vehicle โ€” all in the same app. -Every cost categorised: fuel, EV charging, maintenance, insurance, parking, tolls, traffic tickets, car washes. -Reads any language and script โ€” Hebrew, Russian, Arabic, English, German, Spanish and more. -Private. Your data lives in your own secure cloud account, never shared, never sold, never used for ads. WHAT THE SCANNER READS - Currency โ€” USD, EUR, GBP, ILS, RUB and many more - Date in any common format - Vendor name in the original alphabet - Category โ€” fuel, EV charging, maintenance, parking, ticket, insurance, car wash or other You can correct any field in one tap. Your edits are what get saved. KNOW YOUR CAR For each car add the make, model, year, plate, colour and odometer.
