Invoice Collector can automatically collect invoices from vendor portals and Gmail, then match them to transactions so users do not need to upload invoices manually. You can access it directly from Drop Receipts in the Expenses tab.

Security & Privacy
No password storage: Alaan never stores your login credentials
