Last year, my washing machine broke. It was still under warranty, but I couldn't find the receipt anywhere. Ended up paying ~$500 for a repair that should've been free.
That stung — so I built SlipCrate to avoid it happening again.
Here's what it does:
- You upload receipts (photo or PDF). - It extracts purchase + warranty details automatically. - Everything is stored in one place. - It reminds you before warranties expire. - Works as a web app (installable on phone as a PWA).
I've kept it simple — not another "all-in-one finance app," just a focused tool to stop losing money because of misplaced receipts or forgotten warranty dates.
Try it here: https://slipcrate.com (It's free to try, early testers get a discount code for premium.)
Thanks for reading — and if this saves even one person from paying out of pocket like I did, it'll be worth it.

On the "having to remember" part: if you've uploaded a receipt once, SlipCrate sends expiry nudges (30, 15, 7, and 1 day before). I can include the app name in the notification so it's obvious where it came from.
I'm also exploring light-touch options so you don't have to remember at all: optional monthly email/push "bought anything new?" reminder, email-forwarding of receipts, or a unique upload address. If you had to pick one "least annoying" flow, which would it be?
