What's New in SpotFunds

2.2.1

September 14, 2026

Your coach speaks before you spend — and now you can ask it anything. ASK YOUR COACH Your coach already knows your paces, your cycle, and your patterns. Now you can just ask, in plain language: "Can I get lunch today?" "What about coffee?" "What if I spend $40 this weekend?" On the latest iPhone software, your coach can borrow Apple's private cloud for a moment to work out an answer — nothing is stored, not by us and not by Apple, and your location never goes. Requires Apple Intelligence. SEARCH EVERYTHING A new Search tab finds any pace, spot, or purchase from one field — "coffee last week," "groceries on Wednesday." And your purchases are in Spotlight alongside your paces and spots: pull down on your Home Screen, type "coffee," and go straight there without opening SpotFunds. Amounts are never indexed. TRY IT BEFORE YOU SPEND IT Thinking about lunch? Tap an amount on Today and see what it does to your pace before you commit. Nothing is saved. PAID ON A DAY, NOT A DATE Your cycle now anchors to the day you actually get paid, including every-other-Friday schedules. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE · Ask Siri to open a pace or a spot by name · Widgets work from day one — and your iPhone widgets show up on your Mac desktop, nothing to install · The morning catch-up opens a purchase already filled in · Steadier pacing: day counts, rounding, and cycle math corrected

Great!

Didn't take long for me to recognize my habit and change behavior all because of this app. I think it has already saved me a bunch of cash.

Easy and handy

I've used SpotFunds to track a lot of the on-the-go miscellaneous expenses for my small business (parking, business lunches, coffee shops, etc). I love how quick and simple it is. NO setup--you can just start tracking right away. And the smart locational prompts are awesome. Well worth it!!

Excellent!

Great for anyone who wants an easy way to keep an eye on their monthly spending.

Easy!
