Find any receipt in seconds. Never lose a warranty again.

17 June 2026  ·  Paul Mueller  ·  5 min read

Your Ryobi drill stops working eight months after you bought it. You know you scanned the receipt. It is in there somewhere, buried under a year of fuel stops and Bunnings runs. From this week, you just type "Ryobi" and it is on screen in under a second. While we were building that, we realised SnapClaim already has everything it needs to remind you the warranty exists in the first place. So it does that too.

Oscar says "I read every line item on every receipt you have ever shown me. Merchant, date, what you actually bought, not just the total. I always knew that. What I did not do, until now, was let you ask me about it later. Search Bunnings, search a dollar amount, search the name of the thing you bought. I will find it. And if I notice you have bought something that is probably still under warranty, I will mention it once, quietly, and then leave you alone."

Search that actually looks inside the receipt

Most receipt apps that say they have search really mean a merchant filter. Type "Bunnings" and you get every Bunnings receipt, which is useful right up until you have forty of them and you are trying to remember which one had the drill on it.

SnapClaim's search looks at what Oscar actually read off the receipt, the line items themselves, not just the shop it came from. Type "drill" and you get the drill, regardless of which hardware store it came from or what else was on that docket. Type "47.20" and you get the receipt with that total. Type a category code if you know it. It is the difference between a search bar and an actual memory.

Found by line item, not merchant name
🛡 Warranty tracked

It works on your phone the moment you start typing, no waiting on a server, because your receipts are already sitting on your device. Free plan gets merchant and date search. Lite and Pro get the full thing, line items, category, and amount, which is the version that actually finds the drill.

The warranty bit nobody asked for but everyone needed

This came from a genuinely simple observation. SnapClaim already knows exactly what you bought and how much you paid for it, because that is the whole job of the app. A fair chunk of what gets scanned, tools, electronics, anything with a motor or a circuit board in it, almost certainly came with a manufacturer warranty. Nobody writes that warranty period down anywhere. It lives in a box that gets thrown out, or an email that gets buried, or nowhere at all.

So now, when you scan something Oscar reckons is likely to carry a warranty, he asks. Right there on the result screen, same place he tells you the ATO category and what it is worth. Enter the warranty length, or skip it if you would rather not bother. If you confirm it, it is saved against that exact receipt, forever, with the original photo as your proof of purchase sitting right next to it.

Oscar says "I am not going to nag you about it later. No notifications, no reminders popping up while you are trying to do something else. The warranty just sits there on the receipt, quietly, waiting for the day the drill actually breaks. That is the only day it matters."

That last part is deliberate. This is not a reminders app and we are not going to turn it into one. The warranty information sits passively on the receipt and in your receipts list, marked with a small shield, so it is there the moment you go looking for it and invisible the rest of the time. If the drill never breaks, you never think about it again. If it does, you already have the date, the period, and the original photo in one place.

Why this matters more than it sounds like it should

Tax time is once a year. Warranty disputes and "wait, when did I buy this" moments happen all year round. A tradie who scans a $400 angle grinder gets two things out of that one scan now, an immediate D5C deduction at tax time, and a record he can pull up in eighteen months when the motor dies and the shop wants proof of purchase before they will look at it. Same receipt, same five seconds, doing two jobs instead of one.

That is really what this release is about. We are not adding a new screen to learn or a new habit to build. Search and warranty tracking both run on data Oscar was already collecting every time you scanned a receipt. We just finally gave you a way to get it back out.

Available now on Lite and Pro

Search and warranty tracking are both live today on Lite and Professional. Free plan keeps basic merchant and date search, which is enough to find last week's receipt but not enough to find the drill from October. If that is the bit you actually want, Lite starts at $4.99 a month and gets you there.

Oscar says "Scan it once. Find it in three seconds whenever you need it, whether that is 30 June or the day something breaks. That is the whole pitch."

Stop losing receipts in the pile
