Three things you do. Clary handles the rest.

No menus. No forms. No accounting knowledge required. Tell Clary what happened, snap a receipt, or ask a question — Clary does the bookkeeping.

01

Text it

Tell Clary what happened. "$45 Uber to client meeting." "Drove 88 miles to Sawyer." Clary parses it, categorizes it, files it.

02

Snap it

Photo a receipt. Clary reads the vendor, amount, date, and line items — extracts everything, attaches the image, posts the journal entry.

03

Ask it

"How's the Main Street property doing this quarter?" "What's my Schedule E look like?" Clary answers from your real data.

Real conversations.
Real bookkeeping.

This is what ClaryBook actually looks like. No forms. No categories to click. Just say what happened.

  • Receipts extracted and categorized automatically
  • Mileage logged from a single text
  • Dashboard updates in real time

A real bookkeeping system. Just easier to use.

Clary isn't a receipt tracker — it's a full double-entry accounting system. Expenses, income, invoices, properties, reports, the lot. You text. Clary does.

Expenses

Every expense, organized automatically

Text Clary or snap a receipt — Clary extracts the vendor, amount, date, and line items, categorizes it, attaches the image, and posts the journal entry. Bank transactions auto-match to receipts. Missing receipts get flagged.

Why switch from QuickBooks?

QuickBooks is powerful. It's also built for accountants. ClaryBook is built for people with better things to do.

Your financial data is taken seriously.

We're not a bank, but we treat your data like one. Here's exactly what that means.

Encrypted at rest & in transit

AES-256 at rest. TLS 1.3 for every connection. Your receipts don't travel unprotected.

Multi-tenant isolation

Your data is logically isolated from other users at every layer. No cross-contamination, ever.

Your receipts stay yours

Receipt images are used only to extract transaction data. We don't sell, share, or analyze your financial data.

Audit trail

Every transaction has a timestamp, source, and full history. If the IRS asks, you have documentation for everything.

Infrastructure hosted on Railway (Google Cloud Platform). All connections encrypted via TLS 1.3.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about getting started with ClaryBook.

Do I need to install an app?
ClaryBook is best on the iPhone app — that's where the camera, Face ID, and push notifications live. If you'd rather not install anything, you can use ClaryBook in any browser at app.clarybook.com, or text Clary on Telegram. All three stay in sync.
What happens after the free trial?
After 30 days, ClaryBook is $30/month. No contracts, cancel anytime. Your data is always yours — you can export everything as CSV or PDF at any time, even if you cancel.
Is my financial data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Your business data is logically isolated from other users at every layer. We don't sell, share, or analyze your financial data for any purpose other than providing the service.
Can my CPA access my books?
You can export professional PDF reports (Schedule E, P&L, mileage logs) or CSV data and share them directly with your CPA. We also offer a CPA portal for tax professionals managing multiple clients.
What types of businesses does ClaryBook support?
ClaryBook is built for rental property owners, freelancers, consultants, and small business owners. It supports US (IRS Schedule E, 1099) and Dutch (BTW, KvK) tax systems. If you have receipts and need organized books, ClaryBook handles it.
How does receipt scanning work?
Take a photo of your receipt and send it to the bot in Telegram. AI extracts the vendor, amount, date, and category automatically. You can correct anything with a quick reply. The original image is stored as documentation.
From the founder

A note from Vincent

I built ClaryBook because I owned rental properties and dreaded April every year. I tried QuickBooks. I tried spreadsheets. None of them worked the way I actually thought about my business — which is in conversation, not in forms. ClaryBook is what I wished existed.

— Vincent, Founder
