The ClearSpend Chrome extension helps you:
  1. Track app usage in the browser, so tools without a login integration still get a last-used signal
  2. Upload invoices, receipts, or statements from the toolbar popup without opening the webapp
  3. Send downloaded PDFs to ClearSpend with one click when a vendor file downloads
It only reports data after you sign in to ClearSpend in the same browser profile.

​
Install

1

Open the Chrome Web Store

In ClearSpend, click the Chrome icon in the top-right header, then click Install Chrome Extension. Or open ClearSpend Companion on the Chrome Web Store directly.
2

Add to Chrome

Click Add to Chrome and confirm. The ClearSpend icon appears in your toolbar when install finishes.
3

Sign in

Open app.clearspend.ai and sign in as usual. The extension uses that session. There is no separate login.
Pin the extension (puzzle icon, then pin) so it stays visible. The popup shows your most-used apps and lets you reload service data.

​
What gets tracked

As you browse, the extension matches the site to ClearSpend’s service catalog (8,800+ services). For example, a visit to companyname.atlassian.net/jira/... can match Atlassian or Jira Software. Each match counts as one visit per day for that service. Extra visits to the same app within 24 hours do not add another count.

​
Send documents from the extension

Click the ClearSpend icon in your toolbar. When you are signed in, you can drop files or browse (PDF, CSV, or PNG).
ClearSpend extension popup with Tracking Active status and drag-and-drop upload area

Extension popup: drop files or browse to upload documents to ClearSpend without leaving the browser.

​
Downloaded invoices

When you download a PDF or image from a known vendor site, a Send to ClearSpend? banner can appear. Click Send to upload it to your workspace.

​
What data is sent

The full URL stays in your browser. ClearSpend only receives the matched service and a visit count.

​
Privacy

  • Tracking starts only after you sign in to ClearSpend in that browser.
  • If you sign out, the extension stops reporting until you sign back in.
  • Admins see aggregate usage on Workspace and People, not individual URLs.

​
Troubleshooting

Sign out of ClearSpend, sign back in, then open the extension again. Use the same Chrome profile for the webapp and the extension.
The same app only counts once per day. Also check that the extension has access to all sites in chrome://extensions/.
It only appears for PDF or PNG from a recognized vendor site. Some sites wrap downloads in ways the banner can’t detect. Use Import transactions → Upload document in the webapp instead.
Go to chrome://extensions/, find ClearSpend Service Tracker, and click Remove. Removing the extension does not delete usage data already sent.
