What it does

01

Scan it, and the fields fill themselves in

Point the camera at a paper receipt, or pull one in from Photos. Apple’s Vision framework reads the text on this iPhone and proposes the document type, merchant, amount, date and expense category. You check it and correct anything it got wrong — the editor always has the last word.

02

Six kinds of document

Receipts, invoices, warranty cards, repair records, manuals and plain PDFs — each carrying only the fields that actually matter to it. Group them by product so a receipt, its warranty card and the repair note stay together.

03

A nudge before the deadline

Track the return window on a receipt, or a warranty end date with the lead time you choose. Reminders are scheduled locally, and notification access is only requested once you actually switch one on.

04

Build PDFs, then keep editing them

Scan several pages into one PDF, or import a stack of existing files and merge them. Rotate, reorder or drop pages — including in a document you saved months ago. Exporting happens through the system share sheet, only at the moment you ask for it.
