ARIA Scan · Complete product guide
Keep the purchase.
Lose the paper trail.
ARIA Scan turns a receipt into a record you can correct, search, and use later. This guide documents the user-visible workflows verified in the current local build, not a promise about features or plans that have not shipped.
01
Capture
Choose the right source.
The camera is the fastest route, but it is not the only one. ARIA Scan accepts an existing image or document and always leaves a manual path.
Document camera
Use the document-scanning route for guided page detection and a multi-page paper receipt.
Photos or Files
Import an existing receipt image from Photos or choose a file, including a multi-page PDF.
Manual entry
Create the purchase directly when there is no useful receipt image or the record is easier to enter yourself.
02
Review
Correct before saving.
Recognition prepares a draft. You remain responsible for the saved record, and the app keeps uncertainty visible rather than silently deciding.
- Read the extracted fields.Check merchant, purchase date, currency, subtotal, tax, total, line items, category, and notes.
- Resolve low confidence.Fields with weaker recognition are highlighted so you can compare them with the receipt.
- Check arithmetic.Review total mismatches or implausible values before saving; correct the field rather than accepting a guess.
- Review duplicate evidence.If merchant, date, and total match an existing purchase, ARIA Scan warns about a possible duplicate.
- Apply only what helps.Category and protection hints are optional. Nothing changes until you explicitly choose it.
- Save deliberately.Use Save receipt only after the purchase draft represents the source well enough for your needs.
03
Library
Keep a purchase dossier.
A saved receipt becomes a purchase record: the searchable details, source evidence, and reminder state stay together.
- Scan the timeline.Use recent purchases, totals, and reminder indicators to locate the record you want.
- Open purchase detail.Review merchant, date, total, items, category, notes, protection, and stored receipt evidence.
- Inspect the source.Open a multi-page receipt, swipe between pages, pinch or double-tap to zoom, and share a page when needed.
- Edit without losing evidence.Correct purchase details while preserving the record identity, original receipt files, recognition provenance, reminders, and creation metadata.
The library makes saved purchase records easy to return to, while each record can still identify when no receipt image was stored.
04
Retrieve
Search across the purchase.
Search is not limited to the merchant name. The current index covers merchants, items, categories, notes, and currencies.
- Enter what you remember.Search with one or more terms. Matching is case- and accent-insensitive.
- Narrow the result.Combine date, category, merchant, total, and reminder-status filters; reset them without losing the underlying library.
- Reuse recent searches.Recent terms are kept locally in a bounded list with duplicates removed.
- Browse instead.Open category or merchant views for counts, per-currency totals, and their related purchases.
- Clean up merchants.Rename a merchant or merge duplicate merchant names with a reversible, transactional update.
05
Protect
Make a date actionable.
Return and warranty reminders help you act on dates you have confirmed. ARIA Scan does not invent a retailer policy or manufacture an expiry date when the evidence is missing.
Open protection
From review or purchase detail, choose return or warranty protection for the saved purchase.
Confirm the deadline
Enter or verify the date and supporting context. Treat any evidence-aware hint as a prompt to check, not as a policy guarantee.
Allow notifications
If you want alerts, follow the permission explainer. Notification permission is separate from saving the purchase.
Review reminder status
Use the library, search filters, or reminder surfaces to see what is approaching and open the source purchase.
06
Grounded intelligence
Answers that cite your records.
Purchase intelligence is a Pro-gated capability in the current local build. It is constrained to saved purchase records and keeps the matching source visible.
- Ask a purchase question.Use a practical query such as finding active return deadlines or a past item.
- Read the grounded answer.The response is assembled from matching saved records rather than an open-ended claim about a purchase it cannot see.
- Open the citations.Each match links back to its purchase so you can check the date, amount, and supporting evidence.
- Handle no match plainly.When the library does not support an answer, the app returns a no-match state instead of inventing one.
07
System
Siri, widgets, and sync.
These integrations are implemented in the current local build but are not established as publicly distributed capabilities. Widgets and Cloud sync are Pro-gated in that build.
App Shortcuts
Supported intents cover starting a scan, private purchase search, showing warranty reminders, and setting up a return reminder. They are designed for Siri, Spotlight, and Shortcuts.
Widgets
Small and medium widgets surface reminder status or recent-purchase counts. Their snapshots are designed to omit merchant, item, total, notes, recognition text, and receipt images.
Cloud sync
Local-first CloudKit sync queues offline changes, provides conflict review, and falls back safely to local data. Required production capabilities and distribution profiles are still external launch work.
08
Control
Export, delete, and diagnose.
Settings keeps the consequential data actions explicit. Use them deliberately and preserve an export first when you may need the records later.
JSON export
Create a portable data export from Settings. Export remains available regardless of the current plan state.
Local deletion
Use the deliberate delete flow to remove local app data. Deleted sample content is not silently re-seeded on the next launch.
Safe diagnostics
The in-app diagnostic path is designed not to include receipt contents, merchant names, amounts, notes, or images.
For the complete data description, read the ARIA Scan Privacy Policy.
