Getting Started with ReceiptLog

Accessing ReceiptLog

ReceiptLog is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means it runs in your web browser but works just like a native app. You don't need to download anything from the App Store or Google Play.

How to Access

Open your web browser (Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, or any browser on your computer) and go to:

app.receiptlog.app

That's it! You'll see the login screen where you can sign in or create a new account.

Signing Up

Creating an account is free and takes less than a minute. You have two options:

Option 1: Continue with Google (Recommended)

The quickest way to get started. Just tap the "Continue with Google" button and select your Google account. No passwords to remember, and your name and email are filled in automatically.

1. Tap "Continue with Google"

   On the login screen, tap the Google button.

2. Choose your Google account

   Select which Google account you want to use. If you're already signed into Google, this might happen automatically.

3. You're in!

   You'll be taken straight to the setup wizard to configure your business details.

Option 2: Sign up with Email

If you prefer not to use Google, you can create an account with any email address.

1. Tap "Sign Up"

   On the login screen, tap the "Sign Up" link below the sign-in form.

2. Enter your details

   Fill in your full name, email address, and choose a password. Your password must be at least 6 characters.

3. Verify your email

   Check your inbox for a verification email and click the link to confirm your account. You can use the app while waiting, but some features require verification.

Installing the App

While ReceiptLog works perfectly in your browser, installing it to your home screen gives you a better experience:

• Opens instantly from your home screen - no need to type the address
• Runs in its own window without browser buttons
• Feels just like a native app

Installing on iPhone / iPad

Safari is required for installation on iOS devices.

1. Open in Safari

   Make sure you're viewing app.receiptlog.app in Safari (not Chrome or another browser).

2. Tap the Share button

   Tap the Share icon at the bottom of Safari (the square with an arrow pointing up).

3. Tap "Add to Home Screen"

   Scroll down in the share menu and tap "Add to Home Screen".

4. Tap "Add"

   Confirm the name (ReceiptLog) and tap Add in the top right corner.

The ReceiptLog icon will now appear on your home screen. Tap it to open the app directly.

Installing on Android

Chrome will usually prompt you to install automatically, but you can also do it manually.

1. Open in Chrome

   Make sure you're viewing app.receiptlog.app in Chrome.

2. Tap the menu button

   Tap the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome.

3. Tap "Install app" or "Add to Home screen"

   The wording varies by device, but look for an install option in the menu.

4. Confirm

   Tap Install or Add to confirm.

Installing on Desktop (Windows / Mac)

In Chrome, Edge, or Brave, look for an install icon in the address bar.

1. Look for the install icon

   In the address bar (where the URL is), look for a small install icon (usually a monitor with a download arrow, or a + symbol).

2. Click Install

   Click the icon and confirm the installation. ReceiptLog will open in its own window and be added to your applications.
