For rideshare & delivery
Gas, car washes, phone mounts, hot bags, tolls — photograph each one and CabSnap's AI reads it, files it, and keeps it for April.
What you're carrying
Every fill, on the days the deliveries barely covered it
Small, frequent, and never kept
The gear that quietly wears out every few months
Bought out of pocket, replaced more than once a year
Pennies at a time, hundreds by December
Meters, garages, lots — the smallest slips of all
Every one is a business expense. Snap it and it's kept.
What goes wrong
Gas slips and drive-thru receipts are thermal paper, and a parked car in July is about the worst place that paper can sit. They do not get lost so much as they go blank while sitting exactly where you left them.
A photograph taken the day you got it does not fade.
How it works
In the parking lot, before the next ping. One hand.
Vendor, date, and total pulled off the paper. No typing.
Filed and searchable, months after the paper went in the door pocket.
Why a photo counts
You don't have to keep the paper. The IRS has accepted electronic records since 1997, as long as the copies meet a few basic conditions.

Questions
Yes. Under Rev. Proc. 97-22 the IRS accepts electronic copies of paper records, provided the image is legible, matches the original, can be printed on request, and is stored securely. This is a recordkeeping answer, not tax advice — talk to your tax preparer about your own situation.
A statement shows an amount and a merchant. The receipt shows what was actually bought. Which of those matters to you is a question for your tax professional, but only one of the two is a record of the purchase itself, and it is the one that fades.
Not yet — CabSnap is Android only. An iPhone version is in development. There's no release date I can promise you yet. More on the iPhone version
Fewer receipts is still receipts. The app does not care about volume — it costs nothing to download and the habit takes three seconds per receipt.
