2.4.0

Current version

Slip started with a shoebox and a tax deadline. On 9 Mar 2024 two of us sat on a kitchen floor in Alfama sorting paper into piles, typing amounts into a spreadsheet, and arguing about which pile the pharmacy receipts belonged in. It took 9 hours. What stayed with us afterwards was that every receipt already said what it was. The merchant, the date, the amount, the line items — all of it printed right there. The only missing part was somebody to read it and put it in a row.

So we built the reader, and refused most of what usually gets added around one. No budgets. No envelopes. No streak counters, and no notification saying you spent EUR 41.20 on coffee this month and should feel a certain way about that. Slip never moves money and never holds it, which meant we never had to become a bank, and you never have to hand us the keys to one. What is left is deliberately narrow: snap or forward a receipt, Slip reads it, sorts it, files it, and later shows you the shape of the year.

Slip runs on iOS and Android, with a web app for searching and exporting what you have filed. Version 2.4.0 shipped on 12 Aug 2026. We are 11 people across 5 countries, with a small room in Lisbon that 4 of us use on Tuesdays. One round was raised in Mar 2025 and nothing since. The roadmap is short because we keep saying no to things.

We stop at showing you

Slip lays out what happened and leaves it there. What to do about the number is your business, not an app’s.

Say the limit out loud

Slip cannot see accounts you never connect, and the reader still misses about 1 faded thermal receipt in 40. Better that you read it here than find it out on a Tuesday.

The quiet default

One summary a week, on Sunday, and the switch to turn it off is on the first screen of settings. An app about money should not be the loudest thing on a phone.

The people who make it

Inês Carvalho

Design

Drew the receipt card that the rest of the app hangs off, then redrew it four times.

Tomas Bergström

iOS

Wrote the capture path, and rebuilt it twice to make it work one-handed on a moving bus.

Priya Raghunathan

Machine learning

Owns the reader — the part that turns a crumpled photo into a merchant, a date and an amount.

Yusuf Okonkwo

Operations
