Tailride Desktop logs into your supplier portals, checks your mailboxes — Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, Proton Mail or any IMAP server — and watches folders on your computer, automatically, on the schedule you choose. Everything runs on your own computer, so your passwords stay with you.
Looks like you're on macOS. The download is a .dmg file — free, and you can install it before you sign in.
Version 1.3.2 · What's new · Setup guide
Set it up once, then let it run.
Download the app and sign in with your Tailride account. Sign-in happens in your normal browser, so you never type your Tailride password into the app.
Pick the portals you buy from, connect a mailbox, or point the app at a folder. Choose how far back to go and — if you like — save the portal login so the app can sign in for you.
The app checks for new invoices on the schedule you pick — every hour, day, week, month or quarter — and each supplier or mailbox can have its own. New invoices show up in Tailride and go on to your accounting software.
Everything the browser extension does, plus the things that only work from your own computer.
It sits in your menu bar or system tray and collects on the schedule you set — one for the whole app, or a different one per supplier or mailbox. Your browser can be closed; if your computer was asleep, it catches up when it wakes.
Save a portal login and the app signs in by itself. If a portal asks for a code from your authenticator app, the app can enter that too, so nothing waits for you.
Two Amazon accounts, three Google Ads accounts? Add each one separately. They stay completely apart, so nothing gets mixed up.
Gmail and Microsoft 365 — shared mailboxes too — sign in through your browser; iCloud, Yahoo, GMX, IONOS, Proton Mail and any IMAP server connect with an app password. Email receipts become PDFs, and invoices behind links are downloaded.
Proton MailPoint it at your scans, your downloads, or the folder your bookkeeper drops files into. Every new PDF or photo is picked up once — never twice.
Learn moreSearch the whole Tailride catalogue and add a supplier in one click. Not listed? Show the app where the invoices are once — or let Find with AI do it with your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini key.
Add each client as its own workspace and collect for all of them in parallel, from one computer. Each client can revoke the app's access from their own Settings.
XML e-invoices in your mailboxes are read directly: XRechnung, Factur-X and ZUGFeRD, Peppol UBL, FatturaPA (including .p7m) and Facturae.
Learn moreEvery invoice is also saved in your Downloads folder, sorted by supplier. If an upload ever fails, one click sends it again — no need to visit the portal.
Most invoice-fetching services work from the cloud: you give them your portal passwords, and their servers log in on your behalf. Tailride Desktop takes a different approach.
They collect from the same portals and land in the same Tailride account. Many people use both.

Yes. Downloading and installing it is free. Collecting invoices uses the credits of your Tailride account, the same credits the extension and email scanning use. There is no extra charge per computer.
No, but you can keep it. Both collect from the same portals. Many people use the extension for a quick one-off download and let the desktop app handle the regular runs.
Whenever you like — every hour, day, week, month or quarter, at the time you choose, or only when you press Collect. Each supplier or mailbox can follow the app's schedule or have its own, and you can pause everything from the menu bar.
It runs whenever your computer is on, even with the browser closed. If a scheduled run falls into a time when the computer was asleep, it catches up as soon as the computer wakes.
Saving them is optional. When you do, they are encrypted with a key kept in your computer's own protected storage — the Keychain on a Mac, Windows' protected storage on a PC, GNOME Keyring or KWallet on Linux — so only your user account on that computer can read them. Without a saved password, the app shows you the portal's login page once and remembers the session.
Yes. If a portal uses an authenticator app, you can give the app the same setup key the portal shows next to its QR code, and it will enter the codes for you. For SMS codes or a captcha, the app shows you the page once and keeps the session afterwards.
The same ones as the browser extension — Amazon, Stripe, AWS, Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Meta, OpenAI and many more. The full list is on the supported portals page.
Yes. Add the portal twice and sign in to a different account each time. The two are kept completely separate.
Yes, by default. Every invoice is saved to Downloads/Tailride, sorted by supplier and account. You can pick another folder or turn this off in Settings.
On a Mac: right-click Tailride, choose Open, then Open again. On Windows: click More info, then Run anyway. Both messages come from the operating system when it sees a new app for the first time, and only appear once.
Settings → Advanced → Delete data signs you out, forgets every saved login and removes the app's data. On Windows, uninstalling does the same. The invoice PDFs in your Downloads folder are kept.
Yes. Tailride Desktop for Linux comes as a .deb for Ubuntu and Debian and as an AppImage for other distributions (64-bit Intel and AMD). On a Chromebook, use the browser extension.
Yes. Gmail and Microsoft 365 — including shared mailboxes — sign in through your browser, and iCloud, Yahoo, GMX, IONOS, Proton Mail and any IMAP server connect with an app password; the app finds the server from your email address. You can also connect Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and IMAP directly in Tailride on the web, without the app.
Search the Tailride catalogue from the app first — new suppliers are added all the time. If it's still missing, teach it: open the supplier's billing page once and show the app where the invoices are, or use Find with AI with your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini key. Custom suppliers can be exported and used in the browser extension too.
Yes. Add each client's Tailride account as a separate workspace in the app. Every client collects on its own schedule, in parallel, and stays in control: they can revoke the app's access from their own Settings at any time.
