## What is Jot?

Know where your money goes and what is left this month. Jot is a private budget and expense tracker that keeps daily spending simple, without connecting your bank or creating a Jot account.

SET A BUDGET. SEE WHAT IS LEFT.
Choose your monthly budget and watch the remaining amount update as you record expenses. Decide whether to move unused budget to the next month, start fresh, or choose each month.

BOUGHT IT? JOT IT.
Record expenses and income with a quick number pad. Add who you paid, a category, notes, tags, and a date. Search your activity, change a category, or edit a transaction when you need to.

MAKE IT YOURS.
Organise spending with categories and subcategories. Schedule recurring expenses or income. Choose your currency and switch between Light, Dark, and System appearance.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN.
No bank login. No advertising. No tracking or analytics software. Your records stay on your devices and can sync through your private iCloud database. Use App Lock with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. Record transactions offline and sync when a connection is available.

A CLEARER VIEW WITH JOT PRO.
Jot Pro adds unlimited transactions and categories, extended history, spending trends, category breakdowns, top merchants, custom date ranges, and household sharing through iCloud. Pro features require a purchase.

ACROSS YOUR APPLE DEVICES.
Use Jot on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Siri shortcuts, and Live Activities help you keep spending close at hand. Import existing records from CSV and export your data when you need it.

START FREE. UPGRADE WHEN YOU NEED MORE.
The free version includes up to 50 transactions per month, 12 categories, and 90 days of history. Jot Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one time lifetime purchase. Available options and local prices appear before purchase.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the current period ends. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Any trial offer, its duration, and the price afterward are shown before purchase.
