Inbox Ledger
Inbox Ledger is an AI-powered invoice automation platform that connects directly to email inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, IMAP) to automatically detect, capture, and extract data from invoices and receipts. It eliminates the need for manual forwarding by scanning both attachments and inline email bodies from services like Stripe, PayPal, and Shopify. The extracted data—vendor, amount, date, currency, and line items—is then synced to accounting software such as QuickBooks and Xero. The platform also supports historical back-scanning of up to six months of past emails, real-time inbox tracking, and mobile receipt capture via Telegram or WhatsApp bots. Designed for bookkeepers and accountants, Inbox Ledger aims to streamline the invoice collection process, reduce manual data entry, and help close books faster by matching invoices against bank statements.
