Automatic Backup

Your data is automatically protected in iCloud. No need to remember manual backups or worry about losing receipts when switching devices.

Always Current

Every device shows the same, up-to-date information. No confusion about which device has the latest receipts or spending totals.

Multi-Device Workflow

Use the best device for each task - scan with iPhone camera, review on iPad's large screen, or analyze trends on Mac's powerful interface.

Privacy & Security

Your Data Stays Private

Real-time iCloud sync maintains the same privacy standards you expect from ReceiptIQ:

End-to-End Encryption: Apple encrypts all sync data
Your iCloud Account: Data stays in your personal iCloud, not our servers
Same Apple ID Only: Only devices with your Apple ID can access the data

Common Questions

Does sync work offline?

You can add receipts offline on any device. When you reconnect to the internet, changes sync automatically to all other devices.

What happens if I disable sync?

Your data remains on each device locally. Re-enabling sync will merge data from all devices safely.

How much iCloud storage does it use?

Receipt data is typically very small - thousands of receipts use only a few MB of your iCloud storage.

Can family members share receipts?

Each Apple ID maintains separate, private data. Family members need individual ReceiptIQ Pro accounts for privacy.
