To ensure your data security, please confirm you obtain the installation package from a reliable source before installing. The following steps are tested on macOS Ventura and later, and also apply to older systems.

Step 1: Download and Extract

Click the download link on this page to get the installation package in dmg or zip format. If it is a zip file, double-click to extract automatically; if it is a dmg, double-click to mount.

Step 2: Drag and Drop Installation

Drag the Receipts icon to the “Applications” folder. This is the most classic installation method for macOS software and requires almost no additional setup.

Step 3: First Launch

Go to Launchpad or the “Applications” folder and double-click the Receipts icon. The system may prompt “Cannot verify developer”; please go to “System Settings” > “Privacy & Security” and click “Open Anyway”.

Step 4: Grant Permissions

On first run, the software will request access to “Documents” or “Scanner” permissions. It is recommended to allow all; otherwise, the core automatic document import function will be limited.

Step 5: Activation Setup

Q1: Does Receipts support Chinese invoice recognition?

Yes. Its built-in OCR engine covers over 100 languages, including Simplified and Traditional Chinese. It has high accuracy for recognizing amounts and dates in Chinese invoices.

Q2: What should I do if the software crashes or won’t start?

First, check whether your macOS version meets the requirements. Try restarting your computer, or right-click Receipts in “Applications”, select “Get Info”, and check “Open using Rosetta”.

Q3: How do I migrate data from an old version to the new version?

The new version 1.9.8 will automatically detect the old database. If it does not migrate automatically, go to “File” > “Import” > “From Old Database” and manually select the .receipts file.

Q4: Can it integrate with QuickBooks or Xero?

Receipts natively supports exporting to CSV and Excel formats. You can export reports and then manually import them into QuickBooks. The official team is planning to develop more direct API integration.

The software identifies duplicates by comparing file names, MD5 hash values, and content summaries. Once found, a prompt appears at the top of the document list, and users can merge or delete with one click.

Q6: How does mobile synchronization work?

iOS devices can scan via third-party scanning apps (such as Scanner Pro) and then send to Mac via AirDrop or iCloud Drive. Future versions are expected to enable direct synchronization.
