Forward receipt emails to your private address. AI extracts the details in minutes. No spreadsheets, no bank connections, no data harvesting.
How it works
Most expense tools ask you to photograph receipts, fill out forms, or connect your bank. ForwardCents asks you to do one thing: forward an email.
Sign up and instantly receive a unique address like you@forwardcents.app. This is your personal drop-box — only you know it, only you use it.
Get a receipt from Amazon, Uber, or your favorite coffee shop? Forward the email to your address. That's it. No apps to open, no photos to take.
Everything lands in a clean dashboard. Review, edit, categorize, and export — your expenses are finally organized.

FAQ

You get a unique email address when you sign up. Simply forward any receipt email to this address, and we'll automatically process it and extract the expense details.
The email is used to extract the expense data and then it is discarded. We do not store the original email content. Only the structured data (vendor, amount, date) is kept in our secure database.
Any email receipt with PDF attachments — Amazon purchases, Uber rides, restaurant bills, hotel bookings, office supplies, software subscriptions, and more. Works with Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and all major email providers.
