About

Scanly

Snap a receipt. Scanly reads the merchant, the date and the total in about a second, files it, and moves on. No forms, no typing. Photograph a whole stack in one go — every receipt in the batch becomes its own expense, listed together so you can save them all at once. Scanning happens on your iPhone, not on a server. Your receipts sync through your own iCloud, so they follow you to a new phone — and no server of ours ever sees them. WHAT IT DOES • Scan paper receipts and screenshots — merchant, date, total, currency • Capture several receipts in one session and review them as one list • Fix anything in one tap; the number is always yours to correct • Group spending by category and see where the month actually went • Pick a period — 30 days, 3 months, 12 months or everything • Create and send invoices as PDFs, and track which ones are still unpaid • Handle receipts in dollars, euros, pounds, yen and dong — converted at real rates • Export any period to a spreadsheet for your accountant or your tax return • Works in English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese BUILT FOR Freelancers and small businesses who need the paper trail without the bookkeeping ritual — and anyone who has ever emptied a wallet full of faded thermal receipts in April. PRIVACY Text recognition runs on your device using Apple's own frameworks. Your records and receipt images are stored in your private iCloud, under your Apple Account — we operate no server that holds them, and there is no account to create. Turn iCloud off and the app keeps working entirely on the device. SCANLY PRO — SUBSCRIPTION Unlimited scans, spreadsheet export and invoicing. Free tier includes 20 scans a month. • Monthly — US$19.00 per month • Annual — US$143.99 per year A 14-day free trial is available once per Apple Account. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Prices in other countries are shown in your local currency on the purchase screen.
