WHAT SHOTBOX PULLS FROM YOUR SCREENSHOTS Shotbox recognizes nine kinds of detail: - Prices and amounts (with currency) - Dates and times - Links and URLs - Street addresses - Phone numbers - Email addresses - OTP and verification codes - Quotes and text passages - Contact names Each detail is tappable. Copy it, open it or act on it without switching apps or retyping a single character. YOUR SCREENSHOTS BECOME AN INBOX New screenshots land in your inbox with a suggested bucket: To Buy, To Read, To Try, To Remember, or Receipts. Confirm the suggestion with one tap, pick a different bucket or dismiss. Clear your inbox. Find what matters later.

With Pro, export receipts to a Google Sheets spreadsheet the app creates for you โ one row per receipt, organized by currency. Track return deadlines and get reminders before they close.
