How we build
Three rules every J & S app follows.
Your data stays yours
Books, VINs and receipts are saved on your phone, not on our servers. No account needed.
One job, done well
Each app solves a single task quickly, so it opens fast and stays out of your way, even with no signal.
Free to start
Every app is free to download and use. Optional upgrades unlock extras like unlimited scans.
Questions
What apps does J & S Studio make?
Four so far: My Library Helper (a book cataloger for community libraries), Lot Lister (a VIN scanner for car dealers), ReSeller Receipts (a receipt scanner for resellers) and AppShots Studio (a web-based App Store screenshot designer).
Are your apps on Android and the web?
Yes. AppShots Studio runs in any browser, and My Library Helper is on both the App Store and Google Play. Android versions of Lot Lister and ReSeller Receipts are planned.
Where is my data stored?
On your device. Scanned books, VINs and receipts are kept locally and are never uploaded to our servers, so your lists stay private and work offline.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Every app is free to use. My Library Helper offers unlimited scans for $2.99/month, and Lot Lister Premium ($4.99/month) removes the watermark from shared lists.
How does ReSeller Receipts name my files?
You pick a template such as {date} {merchant} {category}, and every receipt is renamed to match before it's saved to your Files folders.
