How can we
help you?

Tap the Scan tab at the bottom of the screen. Point your camera at a receipt or invoice and tap the shutter button. DocSafe will automatically extract the vendor name, amount, tax, and date using on-device OCR.

After scanning, review the extracted details on the confirmation screen. You can edit any field before saving.

Yes. On the Scan screen, tap the photo library icon (bottom left) to choose an existing image from your photos. The same on-device extraction will run automatically on the imported image.

After scanning, or by tapping any receipt in your Vault, open the detail view. Tap the tag or project field to add or edit labels. You can create custom tags to organize receipts by client, project, expense category, or any system that works for you.

All data is stored exclusively on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. Nothing is ever sent to any server. There are no accounts and no cloud sync unless you opt into iCloud (a future Pro feature using your own Apple ID).

Deleting the app removes all locally stored receipts and images from your device. Because there are no external servers, there is no way to recover data after deletion. We recommend exporting a backup (CSV, PDF, or ZIP) before uninstalling if you need to keep records.

In the Vault tab, swipe left on any receipt and tap Delete. You can also open a receipt's detail view and scroll to the bottom to find the delete option.

Yes. The Vault tab has a search bar at the top. You can search by vendor name, amount, tag, or project. You can also filter by date range and category using the filter controls.

DocSafe supports three export formats:

CSV — a spreadsheet-friendly file with all your receipt data (vendor, amount, tax, date, tags). Great for importing into accounting software.

PDF Summary — a formatted document listing all receipts, suitable for submitting expense reports.

ZIP Bundle — a compressed archive containing the CSV, the PDF summary, and all original receipt images.

Tap the Export button in the Vault tab (or from the Settings screen). Choose your preferred format — CSV, PDF, or ZIP — and tap Export. iOS will open the standard share sheet, letting you save to Files, send via Mail, AirDrop, or share with any other app.

Yes. Apply filters in the Vault tab (by date, tag, or project) before tapping Export. Only the currently filtered receipts will be included in the export.

After scanning, the review screen lets you edit every extracted field before saving. If you've already saved a receipt, tap it in the Vault to open the detail view, then tap any field to edit it. All edits are saved locally on your device.

OCR accuracy depends on lighting, focus, and receipt quality. For best results:

— Shoot in good, even light (avoid harsh shadows or glare)

— Hold the camera steady and wait for it to focus

— Flatten the receipt before scanning

— Make sure the entire receipt is within the frame

Thermal paper receipts (the shiny kind) can fade over time and may scan with lower accuracy.

Pro unlocks unlimited receipt storage and will include iCloud sync across your Apple devices in a future update. The free tier supports a limited number of documents.
