## What is Eta?

Eta is a simple, privacy-focused expense tracker designed to help you understand and manage your everyday spending.

Add expenses quickly using natural language, such as “coffee 30k” or “lunch 150k yesterday.” Eta extracts the amount and merchant, then suggests a suitable category. You can also scan a receipt with your camera or
select a receipt image from your photo library.

Key features:
- Fast expense entry using natural language
- Receipt scanning and on-device text recognition
- Expense search and filtering
- Detailed expense history with editable records
- Custom categories
- Monthly budgets by category
- Spending statistics, trends, and top merchants
- Recurring expense management and optional reminders
- CSV export for selected date ranges
- JSON backup and restore
- Private iCloud sync across your Apple devices
- English and Vietnamese language support

Eta works without a separate account. Your expense data is stored on your device and can sync through your private iCloud account.

Eta does not send user data to any third-party AI service. The app uses Apple Intelligence / Apple's Foundation Models framework only for optional on-device expense parsing and category suggestions. Apple Intelligence is disabled by
default and users must explicitly enable it in Settings. If disabled or unavailable, Eta uses local rule-based parsing and category matching instead. The Privacy Policy has also been updated to describe this behavior.
