Cashvelope v2.10: Receipts & Attachments — never lose a receipt again

The receipt exists for 30 seconds in your hand and then disappears. Now it stays attached to the transaction forever.

3 min read

A transaction log tells you how much you spent and where. A receipt tells you exactly what you bought, which items were on the bill, and what the breakdown was. For personal use that rarely matters. For expense tracking, reimbursements, or any situation where you need to justify a spend, it matters a great deal.

v2.10 lets you attach photos directly to any transaction — at the point of logging or any time afterwards.

Attach photos to any transaction

From the transaction form or the transaction detail view, tap the attachment button and choose a source: take a photo with your camera, or select one from your gallery. Up to three images can be attached to a single transaction. Multiple receipts from a single purchase, before-and-after photos, whatever the situation calls for.

Receipt thumbnails in the list

When a transaction has attachments, a small thumbnail of the first image appears in the transaction list row. You can tell at a glance which transactions have documentation attached, without opening each one. Useful when you are auditing a period and need to confirm which expenses are substantiated.

Cloud storage for receipt images

Receipt photos sync to the cloud along with the rest of your data. They are stored against your account and available across all your devices. Open the transaction on your tablet and the receipt is there, at full resolution.

Deferred upload

Attaching a photo works offline. The image saves locally first and is marked for upload. As soon as the app detects a connection, the upload completes in the background without any action required from you. You never have to wait for an upload to finish before moving on.

The deferred upload system is reliable across app restarts — a pending upload that did not complete will resume the next time the app opens with a connection, not require you to re-attach the photo.
