Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a storage limit?
No — unlimited storage on every plan including Free Early Access.
How long are documents kept?
At least 6 years (HMRC's required retention for limited companies). You can keep them longer if you choose.
Can I full-text search?
Yes — text within PDFs and OCR-extracted text from images is searchable.
Can I tag documents?
Yes — custom tag system. Tags are searchable and filterable.
Who can access my documents?
By default, only you and team members you invite. Set per-document privacy where needed. Every access is logged.
How do receipts get linked to transactions?
Auto-match scores against unmatched bank lines using amount, date and vendor. Confident matches link automatically; uncertain ones land in a pending queue for one-click confirmation.
