Receipt organizer
A receipt organizer for every shopping trip
Every receipt you scan is saved as a trip: store, date, items and prices. Search them, see them on a map, and open a digital receipt whenever you need it.
What is a receipt organizer app?
A receipt organizer app keeps your receipts in one place so you can find them later, instead of losing paper slips in a wallet or a drawer. Most store an image of the receipt and a total.
CartLens files every receipt as a shopping trip with each item and price, so you can search for a product, see what you paid for it last time, and check whether you got a good deal. Each trip also opens as a digital receipt.
How it works
- Scan your receipt: Take a photo after you shop. CartLens reads the store, date, items and prices.
- It's filed as a trip: Each receipt becomes a trip in your history, with every item and what you saved or overpaid.
- Find it again: Search by store or item, browse your trips on a map, and open the digital receipt.
What you get
- Search by store or item: Type a store or a product and see every trip that matches, with the matching items first.
- Digital receipts: Each trip opens as a clean digital receipt you can save as an image or PDF, or share.
- Savings on every trip: Each trip shows where you beat the best price seen nearby, and where you paid more than you had to.
- Your trips on a map: Switch from the list to a map of the stores you shop at (Pro).
Who it's for
- Returns and warranties: Find the receipt for something you bought weeks ago by searching for the product.
- "What did I pay last time?": Search an item before you shop and see what you paid for it, and where.
- Shared household shopping: Keep a clear record of every trip, so splitting costs or checking a bill takes seconds.

Common questions
What is the difference between this and the receipt scanner?
The receipt scanner reads a receipt. The receipt organizer is where it goes afterwards: every trip saved, searchable by store or item, and available as a digital receipt.
Can I search old receipts?
Yes. Search by store or product name and CartLens lists every matching trip, with the matching items shown first.
Can I export a receipt?
Yes. Open a trip's digital receipt and save it as an image or a PDF, or share it. You can also export all of your data as JSON from Settings.
Which plan do I need?
Free keeps your latest trip plus the trips archived in the last 30 days (up to 5 every 30 days). Pro ($19.99/mo, or $16.66/mo billed yearly) keeps unlimited history and adds the map view.
Is my receipt data private?
Your trips are visible only to you. Sharing prices with the Geospatial Lattice is opt-in and anonymous, and deleting your account deletes your data.
