## What is Ant?

Do you know how much you lose to small daily expenses? Ant is the fastest, prettiest way to find out — and put a limit on it. Now also on iPad.

Log an expense in seconds, organize it by category, and instantly see your monthly total. No accounts, no ads, no clutter — just you and your numbers.

— LOG IN SECONDS —
Tap +, type the amount, pick a category, done. Built for logging in the moment, not later.

— NOW ON IPAD —
A native iPad sidebar, bigger screens, and your money in a more comfortable view.

— BUDGETS WITH ALERTS —
Set a monthly limit, overall or per category, and get an automatic alert at 80% and 100%.

— SHARED SPACES —
Track household or trip expenses with your partner or family: a shared space with its own budget, recurring expenses, and who logged each one — without losing the privacy of your personal account.

— CLEAR ANALYSIS —
Daily average, month projection, 6-month trend, and category breakdown: your money, without the noise.

— SEARCH ANY EXPENSE —
Instantly find any transaction by text, category, date, or amount, and sort it however you like.

— RECURRING EXPENSES —
Rent, subscriptions, monthly bills: log them once and Ant adds them automatically every period, even in your shared spaces.

— WIDGETS AND APPLE WATCH —
Your monthly total on your home screen, lock screen, and your wrist. Log an expense from your Watch in seconds.

— PRIVATE BY DESIGN —
Your expenses live on your device and your iCloud, never on our servers. No analytics, no tracking, no ads.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-18

We redesigned Search, Analysis, and Category Detail so everything looks and works the same across the app.

NEW IN ANALYSIS
- Alerts for budgets nearing their limit
- Breakdown of who spent what (shared spaces)
- Your recurring expenses (rent, subscriptions) in one place
- Category ranking with the change vs. the previous period

SIMPLER SEARCH
One filters button for date, category, member, and sort order — nothing overlaps or gets cut off anymore.

MORE POLISH
- The Home total now lives in the top bar
- Add Expense, Search, and other sheets look better on iPad
- Sync fixes for shared spaces

Thanks for using Ant.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-08-10

Fixed an issue where a deleted recurring rule in a shared space could reappear.

Budget alerts (80%/100%) now notify everyone in a shared space, not just whoever added the expense.

New "Recent Activity" screen: when someone deletes an expense, recurring rule, budget, or category in a shared space, everyone else gets notified and can see it later.

CSV and PDF exports from Analysis now include who registered each expense in shared spaces.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-08-06

Fixed an issue on iPad where you couldn't swipe expenses when viewing a category (to edit, duplicate, or delete). No other visible changes.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-07-29

Fixed an issue where a recurring expense in a shared space could occasionally be logged twice. No other visible changes.
