Tracking spending

Scan a receipt

Point your camera at a receipt and let Vault read the amount, merchant, and date.

Updated 2026-06-14

Receipt scanning saves you typing. Vault uses your iPhone's on-device text recognition to pull the key details, then lets you confirm before saving.

  1. 1

    Start a scan

    Tap the plus button, then choose to scan a receipt. Vault asks for camera access the first time.

  2. 2

    Frame the receipt

    Hold your phone steady over the receipt so the total is clearly visible.

  3. 3

    Review what Vault found

    Vault fills in the amount, merchant, and date. Check them and fix anything that looks off.

  4. 4

    Save

    Tap save to add the expense.

The scan happens on your device

Vault reads receipts using Apple's on-device Vision text recognition. The image and the text are never uploaded; nothing about the receipt leaves your iPhone.

For the best read

Good lighting and a flat receipt help a lot. Faded or crumpled receipts may need a quick manual touch-up.
