## How it works

1. **Add the purchase** — scan a receipt, pick a photo or screenshot, open a PDF, share it from another app, or type it in. The store, date, total and items are read on the device.
2. **Confirm the dates** — choose the return deadline and warranty end; suggestions are labelled and never saved without confirmation.
3. **Get reminded** — local reminders 7, 3 and 1 days before a return deadline and 30, 7 and 1 days before a warranty ends.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Slipbook?

Slipbook is a receipt and warranty tracker for iPhone and iPad. You add a purchase from a receipt photo, a PDF or by hand, confirm its return deadline and warranty end, and Slipbook shows every date on one timeline and reminds you before it passes. Everything is stored on your device, without an account.

### What is the difference between a return deadline and a warranty?

A return deadline is the last day you can send an item back, usually for a refund and often without giving a reason. A warranty covers defects for a longer period, usually through repair or replacement. They are separate dates, so Slipbook tracks them as two separate deadlines for the same product, each with its own reminders. [Read the full guide.](https://slipbook.hoppedev.app/guides/return-policy-vs-warranty/)

### Does Slipbook know the return policy or warranty for my product?

No. Slipbook has no retailer database and never invents a deadline. You choose each date from the retailer’s terms or your warranty document. For some countries it can offer a suggestion counted from a statutory period, such as the EU’s 14-day withdrawal period for online purchases. Suggestions are clearly labelled, and every date is saved only after you confirm it.

### How does receipt scanning work, and is anything uploaded?

Slipbook reads receipts with Apple’s on-device text recognition. You can scan a paper receipt with the camera, pick a photo or screenshot, open a PDF from Files or share a receipt from another app. Slipbook proposes the store, purchase date, total and line items it actually found, and you review every field. Receipts are never uploaded.

### Can one receipt with several items become several products?

Yes. When Slipbook finds line items on a receipt, you choose which ones to track. Each chosen item becomes its own product with its own price, return deadline and warranty. Slipbook uses the item price, never the receipt total, and all of them keep a link to the same original receipt.

### How do return and warranty reminders work?

Reminders are local notifications that iOS schedules on your device. By default Slipbook reminds you 7, 3 and 1 days before a return deadline and 30, 7 and 1 days before a warranty ends, at a time you choose. You can turn reminders off per deadline. If you don’t allow notifications, the app still works and shows every date on the timeline.

### Is Slipbook free, and what is the limit?

Slipbook is free for up to 5 active products and 2 archived products. The free version already includes receipt scanning, the timeline, standard reminders, search, returns and refunds, and the full statistics. An optional one-time purchase removes the limits.

### What does the one-time Premium purchase unlock?

Premium unlocks unlimited products and an unlimited archive, your own reminder days for each deadline, and password-encrypted backups, including optional automatic backups to your own iCloud Drive. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. The App Store shows the current price in your region before you buy, and everything you saved for free stays when you upgrade.

### Do I need an account?

No. Slipbook has no sign-up and no login. Your purchases are tracked locally in the app. An Apple Account is only used by the App Store for buying or restoring Premium.

### Where is my data stored? Does Slipbook sync to a cloud?

Products, deadlines, receipts, photos, refunds, statistics and settings are stored only inside the app on your device. There is no server of ours and no live sync between devices. Data leaves the device only as an encrypted backup that you create, or when you turn on automatic iCloud backup, which writes encrypted files to your own iCloud Drive.

### What happens if I forget my backup password?

Backups are encrypted with a password that you choose and that is never stored, so it cannot be recovered or reset. Without it, a backup cannot be opened. Slipbook asks for the password twice and explains this before it creates a backup. Keep the password somewhere safe, for example in a password manager.

### How do I move Slipbook to a new iPhone or iPad?

Create an encrypted backup in Settings → Data & Privacy → Backup & Restore, save it to Files or iCloud Drive, then restore it on the new device with your backup password. Restoring asks whether to add the backup’s products or replace what is on the device, and always asks for confirmation. Backups are part of Premium; Restore Purchases brings Premium back on the new device.

### How do I record a return and a refund?

Open the product and tap Mark as Returned. You choose a full or partial refund, enter the amount you actually received and the date the money arrived. A return counts as completed when the refund has arrived, not when the parcel was sent. You can correct or undo it later, and the statistics show it as refunded value.

### What happens to products after their deadlines pass?

Overdue deadlines stay at the top of the timeline. When all deadlines of a product have passed and 30 more days have gone by, Slipbook moves it to the archive automatically. It never deletes anything on its own. If the free archive is already full, the product simply stays active.

### Does Slipbook track me or show ads?

No. Slipbook contains no advertising or tracking across apps. Apple processes Premium payments; RevenueCat verifies and restores the purchase and provides purchase statistics using an anonymous app user ID. Your products, receipts and deadlines are not sent to RevenueCat. Optional encrypted backups can use your own iCloud Drive. [Read the privacy policy.](https://slipbook.hoppedev.app/privacy-policy/)

### Which devices and languages does Slipbook support?

Slipbook runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18.6 or later. On iPad it uses a two-column layout with the timeline beside the product. The app is available in 21 languages, including English and German, and follows your device’s language, region and currency, which you can change in its settings.

### Where can I download Slipbook?
