Parchi BooksReceipts & expenses for freelancers

Coming soon for iPhone and Android
What it does
Scan any receipt
Paper, a photo or an emailed PDF. Every line item is read for you, and you review it before anything is saved.
Ready for Schedule C
Flag business expenses, log mileage, and export a Schedule C-ready package for you or your preparer.
See where money goes
Spending by category and store, monthly trends, and simple envelope budgets built on your income and fixed costs.
Find missing receipts
Import a card or bank statement and see which purchases still have no receipt, matched on your device.
Reminders that matter
Optional nudges before a return window closes and before quarterly estimated-tax dates.
Locked and encrypted
AES-256 encryption on the device, and an optional App Lock with Face ID, Touch ID or fingerprint.
Where your data goes
The short answer: almost nowhere. Here’s all of it.
Stays on your phone
Every receipt, line item, budget and setting, in an encrypted database. No account, no ads, no analytics.
Sent only to be read
A receipt you scan goes to our scan service and Google’s Gemini AI to read its items. We don’t store it, and it isn’t used to train AI.
Backed up to your cloud
If you turn on backup, it goes to your own iCloud or Google Drive, locked with a passphrase only you know.
