Receipt tracking
Receipts that stay attached to the charge
Not a folder of photos, not a shoebox, not an email address you forward things to. A receipt fastened to the one transaction it belongs to, findable by the charge itself.
Four steps
How it works
The only manual part of Everykept, kept as short as it can honestly be.
Capture it
Photograph the paper with your phone or drop in the PDF the merchant emailed you. JPEG, PNG, WebP and PDF are accepted; an iPhone HEIC photo is converted to JPEG before it is sent.
Everykept proposes a match
The upload is compared against your transactions by amount and date, and the likely charge is suggested. You confirm it, because a wrong match nobody noticed is worse than no match.
It is cleaned and stored
Images are re-encoded and their EXIF metadata, including GPS coordinates, is stripped. The file goes into a private bucket that is not publicly addressable.
You find it by the charge
Open the transaction and the receipt is there. No folder hierarchy to remember, no filename convention to keep up with, no guessing which month you filed it under.
The point
What makes this different from a photo album
The index is the transaction
Photos of receipts in a camera roll are searchable only by date, which is the one thing you rarely remember. You remember the amount, the merchant, or roughly which month it was — all of which are properties of the transaction.
- Filter transactions, then look at what is attached
- A gallery of every receipt with thumbnails when you want to browse instead
- A standing list of charges with nothing attached yet
Privacy is handled on the way in
A receipt photo taken on a phone usually carries the coordinates of where you took it. That is a running record of where you were, embedded in a file you only meant to keep for a warranty.
- EXIF and GPS data removed before storage, not on request
- Uploads verified by their actual content, not the file extension
- Private bucket, no public URLs, short-lived signed links
- Deleting your account removes the files, not just the rows pointing at them
Use cases
Who needs this most
Three situations where a transaction without its paperwork costs you real money.
Sole traders and freelancers
Business expenses have to be substantiated, and the substantiation is the receipt rather than the bank line. A separate business workspace keeps that record clean of your groceries.
Anyone with a warranty
Appliances, tools, electronics, a roof. The manufacturer wants proof of purchase at exactly the moment the paper has faded to blank thermal nothing.
Landlords and property owners
Repairs, improvements and supplies each need their own documentation, often years later and often to somebody who was not there.
FAQ
Receipt questions
JPEG, PNG, WebP and PDF. Photos taken on an iPhone in HEIC are converted to JPEG by iOS before they are uploaded, so those work too. Every upload is verified by its actual content rather than its file extension.
It suggests the likely transaction based on amount and date, and you confirm the match. Deliberately not fully automatic: a wrong match that nobody noticed is worse than no match at all when you are looking for proof of purchase two years later.
Yes. Uploaded images are re-encoded and their EXIF metadata, including GPS coordinates, is removed before storage. Receipts are held in a private bucket that is not publicly addressable and are served to you through short-lived signed links.
Yes. The monthly view shows what still has nothing attached, which is usually how you catch the ones you meant to photograph and did not.
