## What is Receipts Space? Receipts Space is a document management solution for macOS that helps users organize, store, and manage receipts, invoices, and financial documents locally on their devices. The software is designed for freelancers, self-employed professionals, small businesses, and privacy-conscious individuals who need to track income and expenses while maintaining full control over their sensitive financial data. Unlike cloud-based receipt management services, Receipts Space follows a local-first approach where all data remains stored on the user's own computer or their personal cloud storage services such as iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or Google Drive. This architecture ensures that no third-party servers have access to the user's financial documents while still enabling synchronization across multiple Mac computers. The application supports a wide range of document formats and input methods, including PDF files, scanned documents, email attachments, image files, web pages, and electronic invoices in standardized formats like XRechnung and ZUGFeRD. Optical character recognition (OCR) technology automatically extracts text from documents, enabling automated recognition of key data fields. **Core features and capabilities:** - Automatic text recognition (OCR) that identifies and extracts amounts, dates, tax rates, bank account details, and other relevant information from documents - Self-learning classification system that assigns documents to contacts and categories based on previous user behavior - Multi-device synchronization through shared directories, allowing teams or individuals to access the same library from different Mac computers - Optional end-to-end encryption for libraries stored in shared or potentially insecure locations - Dashboard with visual analytics showing income, expenses, and financial trends over time - Audit compliance mode (GoBD) that tracks all changes to documents and protects entries from unwanted modifications, supporting German regulatory requirements for proper record-keeping **Additional functionality includes:** - Direct payment of incoming invoices from within the application - Automatic foreign currency conversion - Support for hardware document scanners including ScanSnap devices - Duplicate detection to prevent filing the same document multiple times - Export options for accounting software and tax preparation - Complete change history for each document Receipts Space stores data in an open, accessible file format. Users can examine the library contents directly through Finder, ensuring long-term access to their data independent of the application. The software requires macOS 14 or newer and is available in English and German. The subscription-based pricing model includes a free trial period for evaluation, allowing users to test all features before committing to a purchase.
