## What is EXPENDR Family Expense Tracker?

EXPENDR is a family expense tracker built around one idea: everyone in the household sees the same n
umbers, at the same time.

Add an expense on your phone and it appears on your partner's straight away — with a name attached,
so you always know who spent what.

WEEKLY BUDGETS THAT FIT REAL LIFE

Most budget apps think in months. Everyday spending doesn't work that way — groceries, fuel and eati
ng out follow a weekly rhythm. EXPENDR gives you weekly budgets for day-to-day categories and monthl
y ones for fixed bills like rent and school fees.

BUILT FOR A HOUSEHOLD

• Invite your family with a code — the owner approves who joins
• Every expense is tagged with who added it
• Live sync across all devices
• English and Arabic, with full right-to-left layout
• 55 currencies

WHAT'S FREE

Everything above: shared household, weekly and monthly budgets, full history, the Week and Month vie
ws, and up to 5 weekly plus 5 monthly categories. Free accounts see a small banner ad.

WHAT EXPENDR PLUS ADDS

• Automatic expense capture from your bank's message alerts (see below)
• Unlimited categories and a larger icon set
• Export to CSV and PDF
• Family savings goals
• Forecast — see where the month is heading before it gets there
• Auto-budget — budgets that adjust to how your family actually spends
• Bill reminders
• App Lock with Face ID
• No ads

One purchase covers your whole household, on every device, forever. It is a one-time purchase, not a
 subscription.

AUTOMATIC EXPENSE CAPTURE (PLUS)

You set up an automation in Apple's Shortcuts app: when a message from your bank arrives, it passes
the text to EXPENDR. EXPENDR reads the amount and the merchant and puts it in a review inbox — you a
pprove each one before it becomes an expense. Nothing is ever added without you.

You choose which bank to forward. EXPENDR cannot read your messages itself and has no access to your
 inbox — the Shortcut only sends what you tell it to send.

PRIVACY

Bank message text is processed on your device and is never uploaded. Your expenses sync only within
your own household. We do not sell your data.
