ReceiptZero turns the shoebox of receipts every freelancer dreads into clean, audit-ready records — without sending your financial data to anyone. SCAN IN SECONDS • Snap a receipt or import from Photos; on-device OCR reads the vendor, date, total, and currency automatically. Nothing is uploaded to scan. REACH “INBOX ZERO” • A fast triage flow surfaces unclassified receipts. One tap to categorize, a swipe to skip or mark personal, and undo if you slip. KNOW IT’S READY TO FILE • Jurisdiction-aware checks (US / Canada) flag missing required fields so each receipt is complete before you file. Not tax advice — a record-keeping tool. EXPORT FOR YOUR ACCOUNTANT • Generate a CRA/IRS-friendly PDF report or a clean CSV ledger, filtered by tax year, category, or status. Hand it to your accountant or import to a spreadsheet. ORGANIZED YOUR WAY • Browse by calendar, search by vendor or text, and keep multi-currency records. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Receipts stay on your device and, if you turn on iCloud Backup, in your own private iCloud. ReceiptZero collects no data and shows no ads. • Optional Face ID lock keeps your financial records private. ReceiptZero Pro (subscription or one-time) unlocks clean, watermark-free PDF and unlimited CSV export. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
