Automate forwarding
Make receipts reach your catch address without you.
Forward receipts from Gmail automatically
Add your catch address to Gmail once, then a filter forwards every receipt from your vendors to ExpenseCatcher. No more forwarding by hand.

Save your catch address as a contact
Name your catch address “Receipts” in your contacts, so forwarding a receipt from any phone or computer is just Forward, type “rec”, Send.

Forward receipts from Outlook automatically
Create an Outlook rule that forwards receipts from your vendors to your catch address. It works on Outlook.com and Microsoft 365, even when your computer is off.

Catch receipts from your phone
Forward receipt emails, photograph paper receipts and send in-app receipts from your phone, so nothing waits in a pocket or a drawer until tax time.

Use cases
How people set up their catchers.
Use case: freelancers and sole traders
Two catchers, one for business costs and one for expenses you bill back to clients, so tax time and client invoicing come from one Google Sheet.

Use case: small teams
A catcher per company card or department, all logging into one shared Google Sheet, so whoever does the books sees every receipt without chasing anyone.

Use case: bookkeepers and accountants
One catcher per client, each filing into that client's own Drive folder and sheet, so clients forward receipts to an address and you never chase a shoebox.

Use case: household bills and big purchases
Keep bills, warranties and big-ticket receipts in one Google Drive folder and one sheet, so you can find the TV receipt the day it breaks.
