One snap turns a paper receipt into searchable, totalled data — every line item, tax split, and discount accounted for, nothing typed by hand.
Email receipts file themselves: sent to your personal @inbox.fastreceipt.ca address, they arrive already parsed, and unknown senders wait for your say-so.
The backlog stops being a project — a whole shoebox of photos and PDFs settles into records while you do something else.
Cash and paperless spending join the same record, so the picture is complete — and repeat purchases take one tap from a saved template.
Write the list once and share it with your group — incoming receipts check off the matches, so everyone knows what’s bought and what’s still needed.
The household finally shares one record: family or roommates see the same receipts, totals, and categories.
Know a good price when you see one — for anything you buy, the lowest and the highest you’ve paid, and where.
Answers without spreadsheet work: ask how much you spent on groceries last month and get a number, with saved questions you can re-run any time.
Your data stays yours — stored on your device, working without signal, and exportable whenever you need the paper trail back.
The receipt skips paper entirely: scan or tap at the terminal and it arrives already structured.
FastReceipt reads the receipt and works out merchant, date, items, GST/PST, tips, and discounts — calling in extra help for the tricky ones.
Line items are summed against stated totals, tax math is cross-checked, and anything uncertain is flagged for review instead of silently accepted.
Cryptic register lines become human names (“FZN SNKHD FISH” → “Frozen Snakehead Fish”). Fix a category once and it remembers your preference for that merchant.
Every receipt joins your local, offline-first analytics — sliceable by category, merchant, tag, or month.
FastReceipt was started by a Canadian who was tired of collecting paper receipts for business claims and personal analysis, and tired of watching useful information fade away in a shoebox. Turning receipts into usable digital data is the beginning. The longer ambition is to change how receipts and spending data are delivered in the first place — arriving straight from the purchase into your hands, already matched to your transactions, with no paper in between.
FastReceipt is in beta while we polish it with a small group of early users. If you’d like in — or just want to know more — say hello and we’ll get back to you.
