— The story
I built Receipts because I couldn't keep posting consistently — and I'm not the only one.
The problem isn't writing. The problem is recall. By Sunday, the most postable moments of Tuesday are gone. The bug that took two hours and taught you something. The decision at 3pm that changed product direction. The frustration that turned into a breakthrough. All of it forgotten by the time I sat down to write.
Existing tools solve adjacent problems. Note-taking apps are for reference. Content schedulers start from 'you have something to post.' Journaling is too heavy for in-the-moment capture. Nobody was doing the loop builders actually need: capture in the moment → surface what's worth posting → ship.
So I built it. Mac-native first because nudges need reliable system notifications — web fails 30-40% of the time and that kills the product.
