Thermal-paper receipts fade. Leave one in a glovebox through a summer and it comes back blank, right when a warranty claim or a buyer asks for it. The photo you take the day you get it is the copy that lasts.
Five per entry. Every expense entry holds up to five images: the shop receipt, the parts invoice that came separately, the inspection sheet. Tap Add a receipt and choose how it gets in:
- Take photo: the camera, then crop and rotate.
- Scan document: the phone's document scanner flattens a receipt lying on the counter, straightens it and trims the edges. It appears when your phone has a scanner.
- Choose photo: a picture already on the phone, through the system picker. Maintano never asks for access to your photo library.
- Choose file: a PDF invoice from an email. Each page becomes one receipt image; the PDF itself is not kept.
A longer scan or PDF keeps its first pages up to the five slots, and tells you so.
Nothing is read, nothing is uploaded to be read. A receipt is a picture. The app does not scan its text and does not send it anywhere. On the free plan it is stored on this phone; Pro backs receipts up with the rest of the logbook, so they come back on a new phone.
Where they show up later. Every receipt is in its entry, and in the service-history PDF: a Receipts appendix prints each one again at full size, numbered, so the buyer or the warranty desk sees the original and not a thumbnail.
The habit that makes it work: photograph the receipt before you leave the counter. Date, reading and services take twenty seconds. The photo is the part you cannot redo later.
