You need to know how to get them out if you ever need to, and it will probably be annoying.Ĭhristopher Price has an excellent writeup about what he has decided to do. Situations like this highlight one issue with using a proprietary system for storing your documents. You can then bring those PDFs into whatever other system you decide to go with. If you want to get your PDFs out of Neat Desktop, here is how to do it on Mac and Windows. It has been quite a while since a major upgrade, but at least it is updated for macOS Sierra and Windows 10. It has receipt extraction, exporting, and reporting. The closest software package to Neat is Mariner Paperless. Unfortunately ScanSnap Receipt doesn’t have the nice reporting feature that Neat does. Neat users will find one big feature missing in ScanSnap Receipts – reports. Modern ScanSnaps come with the ScanSnap Receipt software that lets you scan, categorize, and export receipts to Excel or Quickbooks. Many users (based on my email inbox) are making the jump to the Fujitsu ScanSnap. Sooner or later something is going to stop working, and since there is no support there isn’t much you can do. This is the easiest option, but as new versions of the Mac and Windows operating system are released it will eventually become untenable. Option 1 – Ride Out Neat Desktop Until It Dies Neat Alternativesįor those that don’t want to make the switch to Neat’s cloud, what do you do? This is especially an issue for those that rely on Neat’s receipt extraction functionality. I don’t have personal experience with Neat’s cloud service, so if you are a user I’d love to hear what you think in the comments below. They are focusing and concentrating on their cloud-based application which gets very mixed reviews. Neat stopped their Legacy desktop support early this year. I asked one of my readers why they are switching, and here was the response: Now they are pushing everyone to the cloud. Neat has been developing their cloud system for quite some time, but until this year you have been able to continue using Neat on the desktop. Mac – Neat for Mac version 4.5 and all previous versions.Windows – Neat version 5.7 and all previous versions.Here is what they say in their support note:Įffective immediately, Neat will no longer continue developing feature enhancements, updates, and/or bug fixes for the versions of Neat desktop software listed below: Neat is getting out of the desktop software game, and that seems to have many people heading for the door. When it becomes dozens of messages, it’s time to see what is going on. When you get one or two emails on a subject you assume it’s a coincidence. As always, if you have any questions or comments, we want to hear from you.In the past few months I’ve been flooded with emails from people looking to migrate away from Neat Desktop for their receipts and document scanning and organization.
