Scan and itemise
Point your camera at a receipt, or share a photo or PDF. Handler reads each line item and suggests a category.
Handler for iPhone
Receipts and documents,
kept private.
Scan a receipt and Handler reads every line, files it, and reminds you before the return window closes. It all happens on your iPhone, in an encrypted database only you can open.
No account. No ads. No tracking.
Household admin, handled
Paperwork in. Peace of mind out.
Handler keeps the receipts, warranties and statements that pile up at home, and tells you when one of them needs attention.
Never miss a deadline
Return windows, warranties, lease and policy renewals, and subscriptions, counted down on your Home Screen.
Private by design
There is no Handler server to send your data to. Your records live in an encrypted database on your iPhone.
Scanning
Every line, read on your iPhone.
Handler uses on-device text recognition to pull out the merchant, date and each line item. Apple Intelligence suggests a category for every item, and the choices you make are never overwritten.
- Scan with the camera, or pick a photo or PDF
- Items Handler isn't sure about wait in a Needs Review queue
- Send receipts from other apps with the share sheet
Upcoming
The dates that cost you money.
Handler keeps a single list of everything with a deadline, so a return window or a renewal never slips by unnoticed.
- Widgets for upcoming deadlines and renewals
- Live Activities count down the final days
- Reminders arrive as local notifications
Spending
Your statements, without a bank login.
Import the CSV, OFX or QFX file your bank already gives you. Handler previews it, skips duplicates, and shows where the month went, by category.
- No bank credentials, ever stored or shared
- Duplicate detection before anything is saved
- Spending by category on the Home screen
Built for iPhone
Right where you already are.
Say “Scan a receipt in Handler” to Siri, or ask to see what's coming up. Turn on Spotlight if you want your documents to be searchable, and leave it off if you don't.
- Siri and Shortcuts
- Optional Spotlight search, off by default
- Widgets and notifications never show amounts or balances
Privacy
No account. No analytics.
No server.
Handler is built so that your financial life stays on your iPhone. The app's own tests fail if anyone adds code that talks to the network.
- Where your data lives
- An encrypted database on your iPhone, with its key held in the Keychain.
- What leaves your iPhone
- Nothing, by default.
- The one exception
- Private Cloud Compute, only if you turn it on. Text only. Never images or amounts.
Questions.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Handler has no sign-in and no Handler account. Open the app and start scanning.
Does Handler connect to my bank?
Not directly. You import the statement file your bank already lets you download (CSV, OFX or QFX). Handler never asks for your banking password.
What happens if I lose my iPhone?
Handler's database is encrypted with a key that never leaves your device, and it is deliberately left out of iCloud and device backups. That keeps it private, but it also means your Handler records can't be restored onto a new iPhone. Keep the original receipts for anything important.
Which iPhone do I need?
Handler uses Apple Intelligence for on-device categorisation, so it needs an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence.
What is Private Cloud Compute, and do I have to use it?
It's Apple's privacy-preserving cloud for Apple Intelligence. Handler can use it to finish categorising items the on-device model couldn't, but it's off until you turn it on in Settings. When it's on, only text such as a merchant name and line description is sent. Images, amounts and account details are never sent.
When can I get Handler?
Handler is in development and isn't on the App Store yet. Pricing hasn't been announced. This page will link to the App Store when it is.
Less paperwork.
Nothing to give up.
Handler is coming to iPhone. Until then, have a look at how it handles your data.
