## What is Summa?

Summa is the all-in-one money manager that keeps your financial life private. Budget planner, expense tracker, receipt scanner, bill reminders, savings goals, investments, and net worth in one beautiful app, with AI that runs entirely on your device.

No ads. No selling your data. Your bank credentials never touch our servers.

SEE EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
Your dashboard brings spending pace, cash flow, upcoming bills, savings goals, investments, and net worth together in swipeable cards you can reorder any way you like. The Focus dashboard distills it all into a financial health score built from your real habits, with milestone badges that reward strong months.

BUDGET WITH CONFIDENCE
Build a budget in minutes with the guided wizard, or let Summa study your spending history and suggest amounts that match how you actually live. Pace indicators tell you at a glance whether you are on track, close to the limit, or over. Group related categories, roll unspent money forward, and exclude any transaction from your totals with one tap.

TRACK EVERY EXPENSE, AUTOMATICALLY
- Connect your bank and new transactions sync on their own (Pro+Connect)
- Scan receipts with your camera: amount, merchant, date, and currency are read instantly, in any of 17 languages
- Import CSV files with a guided Import Check that matches accounts and catches duplicates
- Or log a purchase by hand in seconds

On-device machine learning categorizes every transaction and learns from each correction you make. Messy merchant names are tidied up automatically.

KNOW WHERE YOUR MONTH IS HEADED
The built-in forecaster projects your end-of-month spending with the same statistical models analysts use (Holt-Winters and ARIMA), running entirely on your device. See the range your month could land in before it happens.

GROW YOUR NET WORTH
Track investment portfolios, individual holdings, cost basis, and daily performance with live market data and interactive charts. Follow loans and mortgages with payoff progress charts, test extra-payment scenarios, link a mortgage to your property, and watch your home equity build. Net worth milestones show how far you have come.

NEVER MISS A BILL
Summa detects your recurring payments and subscriptions, and 22 configurable alert types cover everything from bill reminders to large transactions and budget warnings. Quiet Hours keep your finances from interrupting dinner.

REACH YOUR SAVINGS GOALS
Set a target, watch your progress rings fill, and celebrate the finish line, including how far ahead of schedule you were.

SHARE WITH SOMEONE YOU TRUST
Spaces opens a secure window into your finances for a partner, a family member, or an advisor. Connect by scanning a QR code and choose exactly what they can see. Everything you share is protected by end-to-end encryption, so our servers only ever see ciphertext. Budgeting as a couple has never been this private.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Every AI and ML model runs on your device; your financial data is never sent to external AI services
- Bank connections are handled by Plaid; your credentials never touch our servers
- AES-256 encryption with keys protected by the Secure Enclave
- Receipt images are processed in memory, never stored or uploaded
- No ads, no tracking pixels, no data sales. Ever.

MADE TO FIT YOU
- 17 languages and 50 currencies with live conversion rates
- Home Screen widgets, dark mode, custom themes, and color-blind friendly palettes
- Automatic cloud backup restores your data when you sign in on a new device

### 2/5 — Tudo é pago

*2026-06-02*

A maioria das informações, são pagas

**Developer response:** Olá Daniel, obrigado por reservar um tempo para compartilhar sua opinião.

Entendemos perfeitamente a frustração de esbarrar em um paywall, e queremos ser transparentes sobre o porquê de o Spendlens funcionar dessa forma. Todo novo membro recebe um mês inteiro de teste gratuito, com acesso completo a tudo, sem nenhum recurso bloqueado, para que você possa realmente usar o app no dia a dia e decidir se ele merece um lugar na sua rotina antes de pagar um centavo.

Quanto ao motivo de não ser gratuito: estamos construindo o Spendlens para o longo prazo, e uma assinatura justa é o que nos permite continuar melhorando o app ano após ano, em vez de buscar ganhos rápidos. Cobrar de forma honesta por um produto bem feito é, para nós, a maneira mais transparente de nos mantermos sustentáveis. Isso significa que podemos fazer o trabalho que amamos, e você tem a tranquilidade de saber que nunca venderemos seus dados nem promoveremos produtos de outras empresas só para ganhar dinheiro.

Adoraríamos que você experimentasse o teste de verdade, e estamos sempre à disposição para qualquer dúvida ou sugestão.

### 5/5 — Útil y Versátil

*2026-05-14*

Esta aplicación me permite supervisar y mejorar mis finanzas personales de una manera gráfica y minuciosa.

### 5/5 — Finally stopped guessing

*2026-04-22*

Been through Mint, personal spreadsheets, and a Notes app in the last 5 years. This is on another level. What’s different for me is the forecast… it told me on a Tuesday I was on pace to blow the budget by Friday and I actually rerouted spending because of it. First finance app that warned me before the fact instead of just showing me the damage after. 

Couple’s sharing was another surprise. My partner and I have kept our logins separate and this is the first thing that let us look at our spending consolidated in one place in real time for a true relationship budget management. 

A small nitpick is it’s iOS only, so my mom is stuck on the outside. Not a deal breaker; hope it launches with integration in other platforms too. 

The price is great and I look forward to seeing future updates!

### 2.1 — 2026-08-12

New in this update: lock Summa behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. Turn it on in Settings under General, and Summa frosts over its contents in the app switcher so nothing shows while you switch apps.

- Recurring charges keep matching the series you set up even when a merchant changes how the charge reads on your statement, and similar charges are grouped more carefully
- Accounts you switch off in the Net Worth chart now dim in the sidebar and navigation drawer, and always update the totals
