GiveProof
Read full descriptionHide full description
You dropped four bags of clothes at Goodwill and got a blank receipt. So what was it worth? GiveProof turns a photo of what you donate into an itemized donation record with fair market values ā so tax season becomes a lookup instead of a scramble. Snap a photo of the clothes, furniture, toys, or household goods you're donating. On-device AI recognizes each item and assigns a fair market value from a 141-item guide built on published Goodwill and Salvation Army ranges. Change anything you like, then save it. Nothing ever leaves your phone ā no account, no cloud, no tracking. WHAT YOU CAN DO ⢠Photograph a donation and get an itemized list in seconds ⢠Fair market values (FMV) from a 141-item guide ā every number editable ⢠Export a Form 8283-ready PDF for your tax records (with GiveProof+) ⢠Photograph the charity receipt too ā the date and organization are read for you ⢠Donations organized by year, waiting for you at tax time ⢠Free to photograph, itemize, value, and save WHY PEOPLE USE IT Decluttering after a move. The spring closet clean-out. Donating a parent's furniture. Any time you hand over a bag of goods and walk away with nothing but a blank slip, GiveProof is the record you'll wish you had kept. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No servers. Every photo is analyzed right on your device using Apple's built-in frameworks, and your donation records never leave it. Privacy isn't a setting here ā it's how the app was built. I'm Christine ā a mom and researcher who builds practical tools out of real life. I've tested every feature with my own donations. No hype. Just clarity. ABOUT GIVEPROOF+ Itemizing, valuing, and saving your donations is always free. GiveProof+ unlocks Form 8283 PDF export for $2.99 a month or $9.99 a year, and Family Sharing is included.
