DESCRIPTION
Paperless... Formerly ReceiptWallet, the newly-rebranded Paperless allows you to scan in and manage your receipts and documents. When you scan in each receipt or document, you enter a few pieces of information about it and then you can quickly and easily locate your receipts and documents. With Paperless, you can view the receipts right on the screen, print them, email them, or save them as PDFs. In addition to the powerful search built into Paperless, you can organize your receipts and documents into collections. These collections can contain whatever you want and even better than that is the ability to create smart collections that automatically create collections based on whatever criteria you like. A plethora of Paperless.
Many products on the market today are one trick ponies. They can accomplish one objective and then its usefulness ends. Paperless is much more than a one trick pony...call it a stable of stallions.
Prepare expense reports
Do you have to prepare expense reports? If so, Paperless can help. Once you store your receipts in Paperless, you can select the receipts to email, print, or export to PDF.
Painlessly handle taxes and accounting
In many cases, the IRS (or other tax authority) may accept electronic copies of your receipts. Paperless makes gathering information for taxes a snap!
Manage flexible spending
Do you have a flexible spending plan or a cafeteria plan at work? If so, then you know how much of a pain it is to gather up all the paperwork when the time comes to submit the receipts. With Paperless, put items into a category called Medical or Flexible Spending, then create a smart collection for the time period, say the last six months. Next select the receipts, hit print and you've now handled most of the work already. If your plan accepts it, you can even export the text content of your receipts as a CSV file and import it into Microsoft Excel; you can print this and might be able to simply submit it.
Store owner's manuals
Are you finding that most owner's manuals these days come as PDFs and are either on the manufacturer's website or on a CD? Can you ever locate the information when you need it? Simply add these manuals to a Paperless library and they're accessible with a few quick keystrokes.
Access legal documents
If you're a lawyer or anyone that has lots of documents about various cases or topics, Paperless can help you organize. Many lawyers are moving from the massive amounts of paper they generate to electronic storage. This is economical and easy to do. Combine Paperless with a fast scanner such as the Fujitsu ScanSnap and paper can virtually be eliminated.
Be ready in case of a disaster
While we all hate to think what could happen in a disaster, recovering from one can be a trying experience. If you prepare ahead of time and put all your important documents into Paperless before the disaster, recovery is just a little easier.
And more... There is no limit to what you can do with Paperless!

DASEIN888 I keep seeing Mariner products on discounted sale nearly everywhere, and I'm on their mailing list and get discounted promotions all the time. It started sounding like desperation marketing over a year ago. Go back to your roots, to the quality you had in Mariner Write. There was pride in that piece of software that has since disappeared. Forget the discounting of increasingly mediocre products, and for having so many products that overlap. Mariner is developing a seriously damaged reputation, Logan, and you guys will go the way of other similar strategies over the past 20 years... Trying to grow too big and doing nothing right. I see on the Mariner website that Contour is being ported to the iPhone. Huh? That's your priority? You're porting Contour to the iPhone? Why? What is the purpose of porting a screenplay outlining programming to the iPhone? Such a misguided strategy for your resources, when so many of your existing products need serious work. I'd recommend fixing Montage and Contour first, as both have a lot of basic problems that are obvious to any user and haven't been addressed in over year. You promised over a year ago that both would be integrated so they work together, but they still don't. You'd have a kick-ass programme if you brought together Montage, Contour, and Story Mill. Instead you have three has-been products that really are over-priced and under-performing. So you have to keep discounting them. Nearly every scanner comes with software similar to Paperless. Why are you wasting time with offering yet another? I'd read Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Logan. Return to Quality, with a capital Q.

MARK97 I own several Mariner products, MacJournal, Paperless and MacGourmet Deluxe. I like their apps, but they lack speedy support. There is no reason that paperless should be finally partially updated a month after the release of Snow. It's plainly obvious that Mariner's office apps are nearly dead. The world has moved on. The world will move on from the rest of the catalog unless Mariner gets it together and brings their speciality apps up to date before inventing new ones. I like Paperless, but I shouldn't have to wait this long for a partial maintenance upgrade. They should be all over this stuff putting out solid apps. Currently the only app that is really solid is MacJournal.

DASEIN888 Yeah, MacJournal is well-executed and represents what Mariner is capable of, but the rest of the new batch epitomises mediocrity, not best in class. That's what they should be seeking. I really want to like and support Mariner, but each time I hold my breath and buy another one of their products, I am once again disappointed with the sloppiness. Mariner needs to focus like a laser and ensure that a perception of excellence is what one feels when using their products. I use to get that but now it's the last thing that comes to mind.

BENR The company proudly tweeted a few weeks ago, "We now have more applications in active development than you can shake a stick at, including *3* iPhone apps". They should really consider whether they want more mediocre apps "than you can shake a stick at", or fewer polished, bug-free, best-in-class apps. I own several Mariner programs, and I'm increasingly disappointed in their attitude.

DASEIN888 Unfortunately, Mariner has lost the plot with their acquisition spree over the past couple of years, I think. I've purchased several of their products, including this one, and overall there are two problems with every one: 1) half-baked implementation with bugs and/or 2) half-baked implementation that misses obvious opportunities. I loved Mariner Write. But with each acquisition the thought behind either each new product or the adaptation of each acquisition is somewhat careless or just plain sloppy. Mariner needs to slow down and clean up their existing product line. The existing ones are mediocre, but they have the material for consolidating some of them and making GREAT products. But they prefer to offer their products at half price in numerous promotions, and people still fall for it. Logan, you guys have such great potential to create great products. Stop with this spree of buying up products that are beyond your core expertise. Make what you have perfect and excellent.

DAVIDUSMUSICUS I am impressed by ReceiptWallet's endless possibilities. I only start to realize what becomes possible with this application. Some time ago I purchased DevonThink Office Pro, which is great of course, but storing documents and receipts with ReceiptWallet is just the best way to do it. Thanks for this wonderful app. It's definitely worth the price.

FONSR Reading the other comments, I guess I'm not technical enough. I purchased Paperless in the MacUpdate bundle and have enjoyed using it sense. Does what I what it to do. Purchased the Pentax DSmobile scanner to work with it. I use it for receipts and documents as I move toward a paperless office. If you want a simple app that allows you to scan, file, and easily search paperless docs, you may want to give it a try.

JOHN-O I gotta agree with the previous reviewer... This program worked really well, and had great promise, as ReceiptWallet. Then Mariner comes along and snatches it up, throws an ugly icon on it, and basically sets it back a year or more... Now, they're making claims about working on it, making it compatible with Snow Leopard, but they still haven't fixed one of the most basic bugs [it has a nasty habit of jumping back into the foreground when it saves it's database at regular intervals; bad form!]!! I sure hope they can start to see and hear the disappointment among the users, and get off their a$$ and make the program what it could be!! Come on Logan, we know you can do it, so just get on it already, okay??

PEEBIX This is a top-notch application, both in general terms of providing a good user interface, and in specific terms of providing perfect functionality for managing receipts. I've been scanning and storing receipts using a home-grown process for a while now, but this boosted my input speed maybe 10x. The application is very clean and minimal, with features such as fast-entry for repeat items, or later modification of entries, being handled just right for convenient use. It worked straight away with my scanner (Canon LIDE 100). It creates reports, which is an added bonus that I had not expected. And it comes with related functionality (DocumentWallet) for keeping a document store, and I have started to use that equally successfully. Very nice work.

DONTIB Awesome program. I am truly getting a mostly paperless environment. Easy to use and powerful. You can scan with a single pass or multiple pass for multi page documents (the multi pages goes into one document and you select the page you want) I simply don't understand the bad reviews. The only problem I see is with having a scanner that directly works with the program .. fortunately I do (only one scanner works out of three that I have .. need Twain). But you do not have to scan directly into the program. This is a great program .. can't wait for an update.
