About this app

PocketReceipt is the AI-powered receipt scanner and expense tracker built specifically for UK sole traders, freelancers, and self-employed professionals.

Snap a photo of any receipt and AI extracts the store, amount, date, VAT, and category automatically. Smart warnings flag duplicates, capital items, and VAT issues before you save. Every expense maps directly to HMRC Self Assessment SA103F boxes.

New: create and send PDF invoices with your own logo — and when an invoice is paid, it flows straight into your income and tax forecast.

Faster, more reliable receipt scanning.
Your scan stays safe: on Android, if your phone closes the app mid-capture, your receipt is now recovered automatically instead of lost.
Straight to scanning: you're one tap from the camera the moment you open the Receipts screen.
Clearer camera access: a simple prompt guides you if camera permission needs turning on.
