Make the work,mind the numbers
Studio hours, strings and reeds, canvas and clay, merch runs, fuel between gigs — creative careers run on small purchases. Scan each receipt and the art stays a business.

Sound familiar?
The starving-artist myth runs on lost receipts
A hundred small purchases a year
Paint, picks, printer ink, a pedal from a classifieds meetup — creative supplies are frequent, small, and paid from whatever card was closest. None of it gets recorded.
Gigs pay in cash, costs hide in cash
Merch-table floats, tips to sound engineers, parking at the venue — cash moves both ways on gig night, and the spending half rarely makes it into any record.
Hobby-loss questions need answers
Running your art as a business means showing business-like records. A clean, dated expense history is exactly what separates a practice from a pastime on paper.
How Receni helps
Built-in answers for musicians & artists
Scan at the counter
Snap the art-store or music-shop receipt before it hits the bag. Receni's AI reads merchant, date, total, and category in seconds.
A workspace per project
The album, the gallery show, the tour — each gets its own space. See what a project really cost, separate from day-to-day spending.
See where the money goes
Dashboards break spending into gear, supplies, studio time, and travel by month — so pricing commissions and gigs stops being a guess.
Tax-season ready
Export the year's categorized expenses as a clean CSV for your tax preparer — every string, tube of paint, and studio hour itemized.
Cash and classifieds counted
A used amp from a meetup, a cash tip to the sound tech — add them manually in seconds so gig-night records stay complete.
Touring across borders
Playing dates abroad or buying materials overseas? Receipts record in the currency you paid, so tour books stay accurate.
How it works
From pocketful of paper to organized records
Snap the receipt
Point your camera at any receipt — paper, email screenshot, or invoice. Receni's AI reads the merchant, date, total, and category in seconds.

CSV export at tax time
I always claimed the big stuff and lost the rest. A year of scanning every supply run showed me I'd been leaving hundreds in materials undeducted — and my project workspaces finally told me what the album actually cost.
FAQ
Musicians & artists questions, answered
Yes — create a workspace per project and scan studio, materials, and travel receipts straight into it. When the project wraps, its full cost history is one export away.
