Audit-ready, years from now.
Snap a receipt once. Bagging keeps it intact, the photo and the details, ready to export for years. When an audit or your accountant comes calling, you already have everything.

The receipts you'll need are the ones you'll have lost.
Tax authorities can ask you to back up a claim six years later. Two quiet problems stand between you and that moment.
№ 1
Paper doesn't last
Most receipts print on thermal paper, and the print can start deteriorating within months, gone within a few years. Long before the six-year window closes, the proof has simply disappeared.
№ 2
Filing it yourself never sticks
Photograph, rename, upload, sort into folders, for every single receipt. It's a chore most people abandon by week three, and finding one slip years later is its own ordeal.
One snap. Kept intact. For as long as it matters.
The moment you capture a receipt, Bagging does both jobs for you: it reads the vendor, total, and date, and files the original photo safely in the cloud. No renaming, no folders, no fading. Years on, it's all still there, and any date range exports to CSV or PDF in a tap, ready for your accountant, or the auditor.
Everything from one photo.
No typing, no spreadsheets to wrangle, no shoebox of curling paper. Just the parts you actually need to keep.
Reads the details for you
Point the scanner at a receipt and on-device text recognition fills in the vendor, total, and date. Glance, fix anything that looks off, and save.
A tidy, dated list
Everything you've saved in one place, newest first, with a running total at the top. Tap any entry for the full-size photo, an edit, or to delete it.
Export in a tap
Pick a date range and Bagging hands you a CSV spreadsheet and a printable PDF, with a grand total, straight to the share sheet for email, Files, or your accountant.
Share with the people who need it
Keep receipts in shared workspaces: one for the shop, one for the rental, one for home. Invite your partner, your bookkeeper, or your team with a simple code, and everyone sees the same tidy list.
Two photos when it takes two
Some expenses come in pairs: the bill and the tip slip, the invoice and the payment stub. Attach a second photo to any entry so the whole story stays together.
Tag by job, client, or category
Add a tag as you save (a job, a client, an expense category). Tags autocomplete, the whole workspace shares them, and the list filters by tag in a tap.
Bring in the backlog
Select up to 100 receipt photos at once and Bagging reads them into one review list: confident reads pre-checked, unclear ones flagged, likely duplicates called out. Old receipts file under their printed date.
See where the money goes
The Insights tab charts your spending by week, month, or year, with totals by tag and your top vendors, built from the receipts you already saved.
Forward it in
Not every receipt is paper. Bagging gives you your own address: forward a bill or an emailed receipt from any mail app and it lands ready to confirm. PDF attachments keep their original quality, and bills written into the message itself are read from the message. Nothing is saved until you say so.
PDFs count too
Import a PDF or a file straight from your phone. A multi-page bill stays one receipt and you can page through the original whenever you need it.
Take everything with you
Download your full archive whenever you want it: every photo and PDF, named and organized by date and vendor, alongside the complete spreadsheet. It is your record, in a plain folder you can open anywhere.
Private by design
Text recognition happens on your device. Your receipts stay private to your account and the workspaces you choose to share: never sold, no ads, no advertising trackers. Any usage analytics are anonymous and never include your receipts. Sign in with Apple or Google.
Three taps from paper to filed.
Snap
Scan a receipt with the built-in document scanner, import from your photo library (one receipt or a hundred at once), forward it to your Bagging address, or bring in a PDF.
Confirm
Check the vendor, total, and date. Correct anything, then save; the original photo stays attached.
Done
It's in your dated list with a running total, ready to export whenever tax time or an expense report comes around.
A simple keeper, on purpose.
Bagging records each receipt as a whole (vendor, total, and date), not individual line items. It doesn't connect to your bank or convert currencies. Just a fast, private way to hold onto what you'll need later. Amounts show in Canadian dollars by default.
Common questions
Is Bagging free?
Yes. Bagging is free on the App Store, and keeping your receipts has no subscription.
Is it private? Where do my receipts go?
Text recognition runs on your device. Your receipts are stored privately to your account and any workspaces you choose to share, never sold, with no ads and no advertising trackers.
Does the CRA accept a photo of a receipt?
Yes. A clear, properly captured photo can legally replace the paper original. See the full answer.
Can I share receipts with my bookkeeper?
Yes. Shared workspaces let a bookkeeper, partner, or team see the same receipts, and you can export any date range as a CSV spreadsheet or PDF.
Can I organize receipts by category or job?
Yes. Tags let you label a receipt as you save it (a category, a job, or a client name), filter the list by tag, and export a tag-filtered CSV or PDF. The CSV includes a Tags column.
Can I import old receipts in bulk?
Yes. Select up to 100 receipt photos from your library and Bagging reads them into one review list, with unclear reads flagged and likely duplicates called out. Each receipt files under its printed date.
Can I email receipts into Bagging?
Yes. Bagging gives you a personal address. Forward a bill or an emailed receipt to it from any mail app and it arrives ready to confirm. PDF attachments keep their original quality, and bills written into the message body are read from the message itself. Nothing is saved to your list until you approve it.
Is there an Android version?
Bagging is iPhone-only right now. You can get notified if an Android version arrives.
What does Bagging not do?
It records each receipt as a whole (vendor, total, and date), not individual line items, and it does not connect to your bank or convert currencies. It is a simple, private keeper on purpose.
