tabSheet

Support

tabSheet turns photographed receipts into a client-ready PDF expense report. If something is not working, write to me directly — I built the app and I answer the mail.

Getting started

How do I add my first receipt?

  1. On the Jobs screen, tap + and give the job a name. Only the name is required — client and location are optional.
  2. Open the job and tap + to add receipts from the camera, your photo library, or a PDF.
  3. Merchant, date, amount and category fill themselves in. Tap any receipt to correct a field.
  4. Tap Generate Report to produce the PDF.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no password. Open the app and start.

Can I send the receipts as a spreadsheet instead?

Yes. In a job, open the ••• menu and choose Export. You can take the spreadsheet on its own, or a zip holding the spreadsheet plus every receipt image, numbered so the rows and the files line up.

Can I share a photo into tabSheet from another app?

Yes. Share any photo and pick tabSheet, and it goes into your top job. Long-pressing the app icon also offers Take Picture, which files the photo the same way.

The top job in your list is the one that receives them. Drag a job to the top to change that.

Your data

Where are my receipts stored?

On your device. If you switch on iCloud Sync in Settings, they are also in your own private iCloud, the same place your photos and notes go. Bitpix Digital runs no servers and never receives your data.

Is anything tracked?

No. There is no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party code in the app. Full detail is in the privacy policy.

What is Claude mode?

Receipt reading normally runs on your iPhone, using Apple's on-device text recognition, and nothing leaves the device. That is the default and it needs no setup.

If you would like higher accuracy you can paste your own Anthropic API key in Settings, and receipts are read by Claude instead. Only the receipt image and the text recognised from it are sent. Your job names, client names, notes and company profile are never sent.

How do I delete my data?

Delete a job to remove it and its receipts. Deleting the app removes everything stored on the device; if iCloud Sync was on, also remove tabSheet's data under Settings › Apple Account › iCloud.

Troubleshooting

A receipt was read wrong

Tap the receipt and correct any field by hand — the report uses whatever is on screen. A receipt the app is unsure about carries a Needs review badge so it is easy to find.

Reading improves a lot with a flat receipt, even light, and the whole receipt inside the frame. Long receipts photograph better in two shots than one distant one.

My reminder never appeared

Work down this list — the usual cause is one of the first three:

  • Check the job is not marked Invoiced. Billed work needs no reminder, so invoicing withdraws it. Marking it not invoiced brings it back.
  • Check the date. Setting a reminder for a date that has already passed cannot deliver one, and the app says so under the date when that happens.
  • Settings › Notifications › tabSheet — make sure Allow Notifications is on and it is not set to Deliver Quietly.
  • If you use Scheduled Summary, make sure tabSheet is not in it, or the reminder is held back for your summary time.

To make the banner stay on screen until you dismiss it, set Settings › Notifications › tabSheet › Banner Style to Persistent. Whatever the setting, the reminder waits for you on the Lock Screen and in Notification Center.

iCloud sync is not working

Open Settings in tabSheet and look at the iCloud section — it reports your account status, the last upload and download, and any error. That panel is the fastest way to see what is actually wrong.

  • The device has to be signed in to iCloud, with iCloud Drive on.
  • After switching the toggle, close and reopen the app — the setting applies at launch.
  • Your Anthropic API key deliberately does not sync, because it lives in the Keychain. A second device starts in on-device mode until you enter one there.

A photo came out cropped or skewed

tabSheet flattens photos of paper receipts automatically, and leaves screenshots and PDFs alone. If a photo crops badly, retake it with the receipt filling more of the frame against a contrasting surface, or import it as a screenshot instead.
