## What is PennySave?

Snap a receipt and PennySave fills in the amount, date, merchant and category. Share one budget with your partner and see every expense the moment it's added. No bank login needed, and your first month of Premium is free.

NEW: BUDGETS
Set a weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly limit across one or more accounts and see at a glance whether you're on track. Split a budget into limits per category, keep one private, or share it with everyone on the account. With Premium, get alerted at 80%, when a budget goes over, or when a category passes its limit.

SCAN RECEIPTS IN SECONDS (PREMIUM)
Take a photo or pick one from your library. The transaction opens right away and fills in as the receipt is read. Prefer typing? Log any expense in two taps, free and unlimited.

BUDGET TOGETHER, YOUR OWN WAY (PREMIUM)
Invite your partner, family or roommate to a shared account with a link. Their transactions appear live. Each of you can file shared expenses under your own categories without changing the other person's view.

KNOW WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
One monthly total across all your accounts, with recent transactions right below, plus your income, expenses and net for every month. Premium adds monthly AI reports that point out spending patterns and give your month a health check.

BUILT FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
- Accounts in any currency, including USD, EUR, GBP and HKD
- Your own categories, with searchable icons
- Notifications you control
- VoiceOver support
- English, Spanish, French and German

FREE AND PREMIUM
Free, always: accounts in any currency, budgets, your own categories, and unlimited manual entries with monthly income, expenses and net.
Premium (first month free for new subscribers): receipt scanning, shared accounts, budget alerts and monthly AI reports. The subscription renews automatically; cancel any time in your App Store settings.

FAQ
Do I need to connect my bank? No. You add expenses by photo or by hand.
Can my partner see my personal accounts? Only the accounts you choose to share.
