TailrideOverview
Tailride Desktop collects invoices from supplier portals, Proton Mail and local folders in the background on macOS and Windows.
Tailride Desktop is a companion app for macOS and Windows. It runs the same portal parsers as the browser extension inside its own hidden browser, collects invoices on a schedule from the menu bar or system tray, and uploads them to your Tailride account. Credentials stay on your machine.
