Gmail add-on for contractors & landlords

Receipts in Gmail. Expenses in Sheets.

Open a receipt email, review the extracted merchant, date, and totals, then file the PDF to Drive and log the row to Sheets — without leaving your inbox.

Install the add-on See how it works

Works with PDF, JPEG, PNG, and WebP attachments. Your data stays in your Google account.

Three steps. No manual entry.

DriveReceipts lives in the Gmail sidebar. When you open an email with a receipt attached, it reads the attachment and prepares your expense record.

1

Open the email

The add-on activates on messages with PDF or image attachments — the kinds of receipts vendors actually send.

2

Review extracted data

Merchant, date, tax, total, and line items are parsed automatically. Edit anything before filing.

3

File in one click

Save the receipt to your Drive folder and append a row to your expense Sheet, tagged by project if you use them.

Built for real job-site workflows

Minimal scopes, structured data, and deduplication so you don't log the same receipt twice.

Gmail-native sidebar

No tab switching. The add-on runs inside Gmail using Google's CardService UI — lightweight and familiar.

Smart receipt parsing

PDFs and photos are sent to a secure backend for structured extraction of merchant, amounts, dates, and line items.

Drive + Sheets filing

Receipts land in your chosen Drive folder. Expense rows append to your spreadsheet with category and project columns.

Duplicate protection

Already filed this email? DriveReceipts recognizes processed messages so you won't double-count expenses.

Project tagging

Assign receipts to active jobs or rental properties — useful when one inbox handles multiple projects.

Restricted OAuth scopes

Only reads the open message's attachments, writes files it creates, and updates spreadsheets you configure — nothing broad.

Who it's for

DriveReceipts is designed for people who live in Gmail and Google Workspace, not enterprise accounting suites.
