Receipt & expense capture
Snap a receipt and it's logged and categorised, ready for the accountant.
What it's worth
Saves 30–60 min/week
Who it's for
Trades with a glovebox full of paper receipts and a bookkeeper who has to chase them every quarter.
DIY: how to set this up yourself
A high-level path to a basic version you can build in Claude on your own.
- Pick one place every receipt goes the moment you get it: a phone folder or app.
- Give Claude your usual expense categories, like materials, fuel and tools.
- Ask Claude to help set up a simple process for turning a photo into a logged, categorised expense.
- Build the habit of snapping receipts immediately rather than saving them up.
- Do a weekly tidy-up rather than a quarterly scramble.
