Features

By the fifth, last month is already filed.

Hamper collects what comes in, sorts what goes out, checks it against the bank every night, and keeps the reports current. Six capabilities, each doing one job without being asked twice.

01 / Capabilities

What each part does, and where it fits

Every capability below is a screen you will actually open, shown with the books of one workspace, Alder & Finch Design.

01 / Collect

One inbox for everything that arrives

Bank and card feeds, forwarded invoices and photographed receipts land in a single list, tagged by where they came from. Nothing lives in an email thread or a camera roll.

In your weekGlance at the inbox on Monday. Seven items waiting is a normal number.

02 / Sort

Rules that learn from one correction

Recode a transaction and Hamper writes the rule for you, then applies it backwards and forwards. Rules are plain sentences you can read, reorder or switch off.

In your weekClear the review queue on Friday. Each answer is one fewer question next month.

03 / Chase

Invoices sorted by how late they are

Sent invoices are tracked against the bank feed. When a payment lands, the invoice closes itself; when it doesn’t, it moves to the next ageing bucket and a reminder is queued.

In your weekOpen the ageing view before you send anything. The two overdue ones are the whole job.

04 / Report

Spend by category, without a spreadsheet

Reports read straight from the ledger, so they’re current to the last transaction. Export a Schedule C draft or a category summary and hand your accountant a link rather than a folder.

In your weekNothing. It’s there when someone asks.

05 / Move

Jump to anything from the keyboard

Press ⌘K, type a merchant, an invoice number or an action, and go. Filtering, filing and switching workspaces all have a shortcut, so a review pass takes minutes.

In your weekUsed mostly on the last day of the month, when speed matters.

06 / Share

An audit trail that names who changed what

Every edit is logged with a person, a time and the before and after. Give an accountant view-only access, a bookkeeper edit rights, and keep the owner in charge of the rest.

In your weekOpen it only when someone asks “who changed this?” The answer is one click away.

02 / Rhythm

What happens on the 1st, the 5th and every night

Most of Hamper’s work happens when no one is watching. Your part is a few minutes, on a schedule you can predict.

Nightly · 03:10

Reconcile

The ledger is compared with each bank feed. Duplicates and gaps get flagged; matches close quietly.

Mondays

Review the inbox

The week’s uncertain items wait in one queue. Confirm, recode or skip.

On the 1st

Close the month

Reports lock to the prior month and a view-only link goes to your accountant.

Each quarter

Check the forecast

The cash flow projection re-runs on real books. Add a hire, see the low point move.

03 / Security

Your books, kept shut

S1Read-only bank feeds
Hamper can see transactions. It cannot move money, and there is no setting that changes that.
S2Encrypted, both ways
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, including receipt images and exports.
S3Roles you can read
Owner, editor and view-only. An accountant sees the books without being able to change them.
S4A log of every edit
Changes carry a name, a time and the before and after, and can’t be deleted from inside the app.

04 / Integrations

Hands data on to the tools you keep open

Push closed months to Xero, route alerts through Make, post to Discord when a month closes, or open a Linear issue from a flagged transaction.
