Some people want to try a receipt scanner before sharing an email address or creating a permanent login. Reece guest mode provides the core receipt workflow first, while keeping account-based cloud synchronization as a separate choice.

What you can do in guest mode

  • Photograph a receipt or choose images from Photos
  • Review and correct the recognized expense fields
  • Add an expense manually when there is no image
  • Search saved receipts and view expense summaries
  • Prepare exports from the records stored in the app

Local guest data and optional account sync

Guest receipt data remains on the device and is not synchronized across devices. Creating an account enables cloud synchronization and recovery. Before changing phones, reinstalling the app or removing local data, consider whether you need an account-backed copy.

Questions people ask

Can I use Reece without signing up?

Yes. Guest mode provides the core receipt and expense workflow without a permanent account.

Will guest receipts appear on another iPhone?

No. Guest data stays on the current device; an account is required for cloud synchronization and recovery.

Can I decline AI receipt processing?

Yes. You can use manual entry and other non-recognition features without allowing AI processing.

Expense tracking without the busywork

Start with your next receipt

Use Reece to capture the original, review the recognized details and keep the expense ready to find or export later.
