Every spring it's the same job. A folder of receipt photos, a blank spreadsheet, and an evening typing in date, vendor, total, tax, one receipt at a time.
DropSheet reads the photos and fills in the sheet for you. It runs in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded.
New in DropSheet: drag a whole folder of receipts onto it.
It reads every photo and PDF inside, subfolders too, and turns each one into a spreadsheet row. Files it can't read get skipped and named.
Runs in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded.

There's a free demo with four sample receipts already loaded, if you want to watch it work: getdropsheet.com
I rebuilt getdropsheet.com from scratch this week.
The tool is now the first thing you see, already running, with four sample rows in it. Drop one of yours on top. Nothing uploads.
No framework. One HTML file per page.
Finally looked at the event data instead of the traffic data.
123 visitors. One of them pressed the button that shows the product working.
I'd spent three weeks making the output prettier. Nobody was reaching the output.
Fix was embarrassing: run the demo on load.

Expensify's own subprocessor list names OpenAI as a recipient of scanned receipts.
Not a leak. Published, on their site, in the document that exists to disclose exactly this.

Disclosure: I build one of the eight. Same table, same questions.
Shoeboxed publishes retention periods in two places that disagree. Policy says 6 months, backups 3 years. GDPR page says 90 days, document backups 1 year. Both current. Both theirs.
Shoeboxed publishes how long they keep your receipts in two places.
The privacy policy says deleted within 6 months, backups up to 3 years.
The GDPR page says 90 days, document backups up to 1 year, account backups up to 3.
Both current. Both theirs. They don't match.
If you asked me today how long they keep your receipts after you delete your account, I could show you two official answers and I couldn't tell you which one is right.
This came out of reading eight receipt app privacy policies and asking the same five questions about each. Full comparison, every claim sourced and dated: getdropsheet.com/where-recei…
Disclosure, I build one of the eight. Same table, same questions.
Most receipt scanner apps don't tell you who reads your receipts.
I went through eight privacy policies asking one question: who does the OCR? For most of them there is no published answer. Not a bad answer. No answer.
Expensify is the exception. Their subprocessor list names who receives receipt images, and OpenAI is on it.
A year of receipts is a fairly complete picture of a person. The pharmacy, the bar, the lawyer, the last four of your card across the bottom.
Worth thirty seconds of looking before you upload one.

Disclosure, I build a receipt tool that runs in the browser. It's in the same table answered with the same five questions.
Oct 15 is three weeks out if you filed an extension.
Your accountant does not want a camera roll.
