Scan paper receipts, import PDF e-receipts and photos, and turn them into clean PDFs, expense reports and reimbursement packets β€” all on your iPhone or iPad. One purchase, no subscription, no account. NEW IN 4.0 β€’ Import e-receipts: add PDF receipts from email or websites, screenshots and photos. Every page goes through the same on-device text reading and review as a scan. β€’ Backup & Restore: save your whole library β€” receipts with their original page images, mileage, per diem, clients, projects and budgets β€” to one file you keep in Files, iCloud Drive or on a computer. Restoring only adds what is missing; nothing is overwritten, and a safety copy is saved first. β€’ Recurring Charges: finds subscriptions and regular bills in your own receipts, with cadence, next expected charge, yearly cost and price increases. β€’ Siri & Shortcuts: "Scan a receipt", a monthly spending summary, and Open Reports. β€’ Correct multi-currency totals: amounts in different currencies are kept separate everywhere, including the summary PDF. CAPTURE AND READ β€’ Apple's document scanner with perspective correction. β€’ On-device text recognition suggests merchant, date, total and tax across every page. β€’ Smart filing suggests a category from your own history. β€’ Duplicate warning before saving. ORGANIZE β€’ Searchable library with Schedule C categories, clients, projects and billable/reimbursed status. β€’ Date filters: this month, last month, quarters, this year, custom. β€’ Warranty and return-window tracking with optional reminders. β€’ Mileage log and per diem entries. REPORT AND HAND OFF β€’ Reports: totals, audit readiness, sales tax/VAT, budgets, merchant insights, monthly chart and category share. β€’ Export CSV, summary PDF, audit report PDF, or a ZIP of every receipt PDF. β€’ Reimbursement packets: one PDF with a cover, totals per currency, an index and every proof page, plus a manifest. Up to 100 receipts and 300 pages per packet; no currency conversion; building a packet does not mark receipts reimbursed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ No account, no servers, no analytics. Receipts stay on your device until you share them. β€’ Optional 4-digit passcode covers the whole app. Reference figures are based on public IRS materials for organization only β€” not tax advice. iPhone and iPad.
