Snap a receipt and forget about it. On the first of the month we tell you what you're owed and hand you a finished claim, ready to send.
A €12 airport taxi. A €4.50 coffee before a client meeting. A €38 dinner you meant to photograph and didn't. None of them is worth the admin on its own, which is exactly why none of them gets claimed.
Do that twice a month for a year and you have quietly funded your employer by several hundred euros.
The ones you do photograph sit in your camera roll as a 4MB file called IMG_3311, between a parking sign and someone's dog, waiting for a Sunday evening you keep postponing.
You're at the till with the receipt in one hand and a locked phone in the other. Press the button on the lock screen and the camera is already open, because the camera is the app.
Shoot, then shoot again. A dinner is a bill and a card slip. A trip is eight receipts in one sitting at the airport.
The shutter checks focus before you walk away, because a blurred receipt discovered three weeks later is in a bin in another country. Nothing else interrupts you, and nothing lands in your camera roll.
Merchant, amount, currency, date, and a description in the words a person would actually use. Twenty-eight of your thirty receipts never need your attention again.
The other two sit at the top of the month with the reason attached. A date that didn't print. A total that doesn't add up.
And if you photographed the same dinner twice, once as the bill and once as the card slip, it shows you both and asks which one you meant, rather than claiming €95 for a €47.50 meal.
It's 578, because your card took a cut on the way through. You are out 578.
Most tools print the mid-market rate and quietly lose you the difference on every foreign transaction you ever claim. We show the receipt amount as the fact, convert at the rate on the day you spent it, and let you replace that with what your bank actually charged.
If you spend in one currency and get paid back in another, this is the section that pays for the app.
One notification a month, with a number in it. €340 is waiting, rather than a reminder to do your expenses.
Tap it and the claim is already built. A cover sheet, the rows, the total, then every receipt image on its own page underneath its own row.
Your mail app opens with the PDF attached, the subject written, and last month's recipient already in the To field. You read it and press send. The month closes when the mail actually goes, because we can see that it went.
It's dated July. July was sent back in August. Nothing reopens, because a claim you have already sent should never change after you sent it.
So the receipt keeps its July date, rides the next claim, and arrives marked as late and previously unreported, which is a thing every accountant already knows what to do with.
You manage none of that. You photograph a crumpled receipt in November and it goes where it belongs.
Most people aren't using a receipt app. They're using a camera roll and a Sunday evening, so that goes in the first column.

What if it reads something wrong?
Every field is editable, and it flags the ones it isn't sure about rather than making you check all thirty.
I'm in a basement with no signal.
Shoot anyway. The photo is saved on your phone and uploads itself when you're back on a network.
What happens to my receipts if I stop paying?
You export the lot, any time, paying or not. Standard PDFs in dated folders. They were always yours.
What if I lose my phone?
Sign in on the new one and everything is there. That's the reason there's an account at all.
I have four months of receipts in my camera roll already.
Import them when you set up. Mark them as already claimed if they were, so your first total is a real one.
Does it decide what I can claim?
No. It reads the receipt and shows you what's on it. What's claimable is between you and whoever pays you.
Free until you send your first claim, so you can fill a month and see the total before you decide anything.
