You have ten minutes and a pen, and four lines on that sheet are padding.
The finance office is the part of a car purchase nobody prepares for. The numbers arrive fast, in a layout designed elsewhere, and the only person in the room who has read one before is sitting across the desk. Photograph the sheet and get it back in plain terms: which lines are padding, what they typically cost, what the payment is without them, and what to say.
It runs on your computer, not ours
A picture of a buyer's order has your name, your deal and usually your signature line on it. That is not something to hand a stranger's server, so this app does not ask you to. You download it and run it yourself, and the photo stays on your machine.
Two consequences worth knowing before you buy, because they are the whole trade:
- Install it before you go. Cloning and starting an app is not something to do while a finance manager waits. Set it up the night before.
- You supply your own AI key. Reading your photo needs an Anthropic API key, which you create and pay for directly, at cents per sheet. Without one the app runs on a built-in sample and says so in large letters, because showing you a different car's numbers would be the worst thing it could do.
How it works
Photograph the sheet
Crooked, glare-lit, one hand, still in the chair. The app is built for that photo, not a clean scan.
Read every line
Each line comes back with an amount and a confidence. Anything the glare destroyed is marked unreadable, never guessed.
Price the add-ons
Flagged items are set against what the dealer typically pays, or what buyers are typically charged, or both. Each figure carries its own source and date, in a file you can read.
Say three sentences
Money factor becomes a real APR, the payment is recomputed without the padding, and you get plain lines to say out loud.
One recorded run
Against the app's own test worksheet, photographed crooked and under glare. This is a synthetic document, not a customer's deal, and nobody has bought this yet.
The last one matters most. Glare crossed the middle of that photo and destroyed three amounts. The app marked them unreadable and said the total was incomplete, rather than filling in numbers that would have read as confident and been wrong.
What $39 buys
Free, always
- Every line read off your sheet
- The padded items named, with typical costs and sources
- Money factor converted to a real APR
- The payment recomputed without the padding
- Every honest refusal, including what the glare destroyed
Paid
The two things you carry into the room: the three sentences to say out loud, and the printable one-page receipt.
Unlocked with a licence key checked on your own machine. There is no login and no call home. A licence check that phoned us would undo the point of the app.
What it will not do
- It gives no advice on whether to buy the car, and makes no legal claim on your behalf.
- It never guesses an amount it could not read. Those lines come back as unreadable, and the total says it is incomplete.
- Benchmark figures are typical costs or typical charges, each with a source and a date, not a promise about your dealer.
- No VIN lookups, no credit data, no dealer APIs. It reads the paper in front of you and nothing else.
After you buy
Your licence key is emailed to the address you pay with, automatically, usually within the hour. The app itself is sent by a person, so that part is not instant. If either has not arrived within a day, reply to the receipt and it will be sorted.
The source is not public. You are buying the app, not access to a repository.
