## What is Rudder?

Rudder is the expense tracker for people who want to understand their money without handing over their bank login or locking into a monthly subscription.

ALL THE SMARTS, NO BANK LINKING
Most "smart" money apps make you connect your bank to a third party. Rudder doesn't. You bring in your transactions when you want, and the app does the heavy lifting: it categorizes, spots patterns, and shows you exactly where your money goes.

IMPORT YOUR STATEMENTS IN SECONDS
Drop in a CSV, PDF or Excel statement and Rudder extracts the transactions automatically. No more typing every expense by hand. You review and confirm — the app does the rest.

CATCH YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS
Rudder detects recurring charges — streaming, gym, apps — so you can see at a glance how much is leaving your account every month and decide what to cut.

BUDGETS YOU ACTUALLY USE
Set budgets per category and track your progress with clear charts. No spreadsheets, no friction.

PAY ONCE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
Unlock everything with a single payment. No monthly fees, no surprises. Try it free and decide.

BUILT FOR YOUR PRIVACY
Rudder never connects to your bank. Your account and data are protected and isolated per user, and you can lock the app with Face ID. No ads, no selling your data, no cross-app tracking.

ALSO INSIDE
- Multiple currencies with automatic conversion
- Recurring expenses and custom categories
- Home Screen widgets
- Face ID lock
- A polished design, built natively for iOS

Download Rudder and take the helm of your finances.
