For rideshare & delivery

Receipts, yes.
Mileage, no.

Gas, car washes, mounts, hot bags, tolls — photograph each one and it is kept. CabSnap does not track miles, and that is worth knowing before you download.

Before you download

If you came here
for mileage, stop.

Most gig drivers looking for an expense app want automatic mileage tracking. CabSnap does not do that. Not a smaller version of it, not a manual version of it — it is not in the app and it is not on the roadmap.

If mileage is the thing you need, close this page and go install a mileage app. We would rather lose you in ten seconds than have you find out after the download.

What CabSnap does is the other half: the paper for everything you buy. Plenty of drivers run a mileage app and CabSnap side by side, because those are genuinely two different problems.

What you're carrying

The paper a gig
driver collects.

Gas

Every fill, on the days the deliveries barely covered it

Car washes

Small, frequent, and never kept

Phone mounts & chargers

The gear that quietly wears out every few months

Hot bags & coolers

Bought out of pocket, replaced more than once a year

Tolls

Pennies at a time, hundreds by December

Every one of those is money you already spent on the job. The only question is whether you can still show it next spring.

What goes wrong

The door pocket
is not a system.

A thermal paper receipt on a dashboard, its printing faded to almost nothing
A summer on a dashboard. Nothing left to read.

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

Three seconds
in the lot.

1

Snap it

In the parking lot, before the next ping. One hand.

2

AI reads it

Vendor, date, and total pulled off the paper. No typing.

3

It's kept

Filed and searchable, months after the paper went in the door pocket.

Why a photo counts

The IRS takes
digital copies.

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

Straight answers.

Does CabSnap track my miles?

No. CabSnap captures and keeps receipts, and that is the entire job. Mileage tracking is a different product and we do not build one. If mileage is your main need, use a dedicated mileage app — plenty of drivers run one of those alongside CabSnap for the paper side.

Then what is this for, if I mostly drive my own car?

The things you buy. Gas, car washes, mounts, chargers, hot bags, tolls, the replacement phone cable in month three. Those are paper and card slips, and they are the ones that vanish. Miles are tracked by a mileage app; purchases are not.

Does the IRS accept photos of receipts?

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.

My gas receipts are on a card statement anyway. Why photograph them?

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.

Is there an iPhone version?

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

Do I need it if I only drive part time?

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.
