Ant is your expense tracker and money notebook, on your own, as a couple or with family: log an expense in seconds, see how much you can spend today, and close each month knowing what you saved. No accounts, no sign-ups and no ads. Your data lives on your iPhone and in your iCloud. — TYPE YOUR EXPENSE — Type "tacos 145" or "uber yesterday 80" and Ant fills in the amount, category, type and date. With Apple Intelligence, it understands even more. — AVAILABLE TODAY — Log your income and your savings goal, and Ant tells you how much you can spend today and stay on track for the month. Go over, and tomorrow adjusts on its own. — AS A COUPLE OR A FAMILY — Keep the household budget with your partner or family, or split a trip with friends. Each space is a card: tap to switch. Invite with a link, no one needs to create an account. — THREE STYLES — Pick the style of the whole app for each space: Classic (the app you know, with Liquid Glass), Diary (torn paper, washi tape and dried flowers) or Terminal (green on black). — YOUR NOTEBOOK — In Diary and Terminal, one page per day with your expenses on lines, the day's total and a note about how it went. — ESSENTIAL OR TREAT — Mark each expense as Essential, Treat, Growth or Unexpected, and see how much went to treats without guessing. — MONTH CLOSE — Four questions to close the month: how much you had, how much you wanted to save, how much you spent and how you can do better. Then seal it and share your month as an image, without amounts. — RECEIPT PHOTO — Keep a photo of the receipt with the expense. Ant reads the total for you. — BUDGETS AND ANALYSIS — Set a monthly or per-category budget and get a heads-up as you get close. See spending by category, by kind and the trend over recent months. — WIDGETS AND APPLE WATCH — Your available-today amount on the Home Screen, the Lock Screen and your wrist. Log an expense from the Watch without taking out your phone.
