The receipt problem
You booked the hotel three months ago. The confirmation email is buried in your inbox somewhere between a newsletter and a shipping notification. Your Airbnb receipt is in a different email thread. The walking tour booking is a PDF you downloaded to your laptop but not your phone. And the restaurant reservation? That was on a completely different platform.
When you're standing at a hotel reception desk at midnight after a 14-hour travel day, the last thing you want to do is search five apps for a confirmation code.
📎 Rule of thumb: If you booked it, screenshot it. If you paid for it, save the receipt. If it has a confirmation code, store it with the activity.
The one-place principle
The fix is simple: every receipt, confirmation, and booking proof should live in one place, attached to the activity it belongs to. Not in your email. Not in a folder on your desktop. Not in your camera roll between vacation selfies. Attached directly to "Day 3 — Hotel Check-in" in your itinerary.
What to save for each activity type
Different activities need different documentation:
- Accommodation: Confirmation email with check-in time, address, and cancellation policy
- Flights: Boarding pass or e-ticket with booking reference
- Tours & activities: Booking confirmation with meeting point and time
- Transport: Train or bus ticket with seat number and departure platform
- Restaurants: Reservation confirmation with address (especially useful in cities where you can't just walk in)
The upload workflow
Make it a habit: every time you receive a confirmation, immediately upload it. Screenshot the email, snap the PDF, or save the image — then attach it to the corresponding activity in your itinerary. It takes 15 seconds and saves you 15 minutes of frantic searching later.
With Limmello, each activity has a paperclip icon. Tap it, upload your file (PDF, JPG, or PNG), and it's permanently attached to that item. When you need it, open the activity and it's right there — no searching required.
Bonus: expense tracking after the trip
If you're travelling for work or splitting costs with friends, having every receipt attached to a specific activity makes post-trip accounting painless. Export the list, add up the totals, and every expense has a paper trail. No more "what was that $47 charge on day four?"
