Receipts of the work
you forget to post about.
15-second captures throughout your day. At 9pm, Receipts hands you back the two or three moments worth a post — in your own words. You ship the day instead of just living it.
For people who ship faster
than they write.
Indie hackers
Shipping daily, posting weekly. The other six days vanish before lunch.
Solo founders
Investors and customers want the journey. You're too deep in the work to package it.
Engineers who write
Last Tuesday's debugging story is gold. If you can still remember it on Friday.
Not for people with a content calendar. Not for ghostwriters. For people whose best material is what they already said in Slack.

Real receipts. Real angles. The captures stayed private; the posts shipped.
Three days. Six posts that wouldn't have happened otherwise.
For your audience, your future self,
and the days you forget what you did.
Reply to a few nudges throughout your day. The end-of-day rollup arrives like a receipt — line items in your own words, two or three angles worth posting, and a clean log you'll actually re-read.
The hook came from your receipt.
The post came from you.
Receipts surfaces the angle — the line you already said, in the moment you said it. You write the post in ninety seconds, because the hook is already there.
I fought with Stripe webhooks for an hour. Then I read one line in their docs.
The fix was 4 characters.
Posting the gotchas in case anyone else gets stuck →
Migration with zero rollbacks. First time in months.
Here's the checklist that finally worked:
- → Drop the foreign key first
- → Run with an idempotency key
- → Skip the trigger before the swap
Receipts you'll actually re-read.
A clean log of your day, in your tone.
Plain language. Organized by what shipped vs what stuck. No corporate filler — your captures, just tidied.
2–3 posts a day, hooked from your own words.
Not generic copy. Specific moments, with the line you already said pulled up as the hook. You write the post.
Search every capture you've ever made.
Find the thing you said three weeks ago. Past you remembered. You forgot.
Lives in the menu bar. Talks on your schedule.
Set your nudge cadence. Pause it. Mute it. It will not become another inbox.
Receipts of building Receipts.
I use Receipts to ship Receipts. Every Sunday I post the week. Every post starts as a capture. Here’s last Tuesday — the captures that became the post you might’ve already seen.
eight hours for sixteen pixels.”
Shipped a menu bar icon. Eight hours for sixteen pixels.
The first version was 24px. Looked fine. Disappeared on dark mode.
Second version was 16px. Looked wrong. Tested on five backgrounds.
Third version is the one. It’s the same icon. Took eight hours.
The receipt is private. The angle is the bridge. The post is yours.
