Built on the Alaska Highway. Used in the real world.

How it works

Three steps.
Then get some sleep.

01
Snap your receipts
Photograph one receipt or a whole stack at day's end. Ternpike reads each one and fills in the amount, merchant, category, a note, and where you were. Nothing gets lost.
02
Review and confirm
A quick glance to make sure it got everything right. Fix a typo, add a note, move on.
03
See the full picture
Open the ledger. Every expense logged, categorized, and pinned to the map, grouped by day. Know your daily average before you decide whether to splurge on a cabin or sleep in the truck.
Try it

Drop a receipt.
We'll mail it back, read.

Drop a photo, leave your email, and we'll send you back exactly what Ternpike extracted from it. Three free scans, no sign-up.

What you'll get
  1. 1. We read the receipt with the same OCR that runs in the app.
  2. 2. You get an email with amount, merchant, date, category, payment, and a short note.
  3. 3. Plus a launch discount when we open up.

Why we built it

I built Ternpike because I was driving to Alaska and couldn't stop doing math in my head.

How much have I spent? How much is left? Is this sustainable or just a thing I did once?

Snap a receipt, see the number, stop worrying about it. That's what it does.

By the end of the trip I had the real cost. Not a guess. Gas, camps, food, the whole thing. Enough to know what the trip actually takes and whether I could do it again.

I could. Now I know.
