Summaries
Capturing receipts is only half the job. The Paper Keep rolls every receipt into living summaries — by financial year, by category, and by tag — so the numbers your accountant asks for are sitting there waiting, not buried in a shoebox.
Pick a financial year and get the full picture: total spend, the tax-deductible share, GST recorded on your receipts, and a month-by-month strip that shows exactly when the money went. Foreign-currency receipts are shown alongside with A$ equivalents where exchange rates are available.
Australian financial years (July–June) are built in, so FY 2025/26 means the same thing to The Paper Keep as it does to the ATO.
The category screen is a league table of your spending. Each category shows its receipt count, total, average, share of the financial year, and a twelve-month sparkline — so you can see at a glance that hosting crept up while office supplies stayed flat.
AI assigns a category to each receipt on import. The ones you correct become the gold standard for the next receipt from the same vendor.
Categories answer "what kind of expense was this?" — tags answer everything else. Tag line items client-meeting, project-nimbus, or reimbursable and the tag screen totals them up across every receipt they touch, whatever category those receipts live in.
Tags are free-form and merge-friendly — start loose, tidy up later, and the totals follow.
