Pexie is double-entry bookkeeping for iPhone and iPad. Every transaction balances, every account adds up, and your books are stored privately on your device. Use it for household finances, a small business or a side project — anywhere you want the clarity of real accounting. KEEP EVERY BOOK IN BALANCE • True double-entry: every transaction moves money between two or more accounts, and debits always equal credits. • Split one transaction across as many accounts as you need, such as a paycheck into salary, taxes and take-home pay. • Organize assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses into a chart of accounts with nested subaccounts. • Give each book and account its own emoji icon, so you can spot it at a glance. • Keep separate books for home, business or anything else. STAY ON TOP OF EVERY TRANSACTION • See the running balance after each transaction in an account. • Reconcile transactions one at a time or in batches as you check them against your statements. • Record upcoming bills and paychecks ahead of time, and set up recurring transactions. • Search your transactions, duplicate one with a swipe, and shake to undo a change. • Tap the status bar to jump straight to today. SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES • Interactive reports show a balance over time, how much it changed each period, or how an account breaks down across its subaccounts. • Look at any range, from a single day to all time, by day, week, month, quarter or year. • Create reports for the accounts that matter to you. MULTIPLE CURRENCIES • Give each account its own currency. Pexie converts balances into a parent account's currency using exchange rates you set. QUICK ENTRY WITH APPLE INTELLIGENCE • On devices that support Apple Intelligence, describe a transaction in your own words, like "Groceries for $50", and Pexie suggests the complete transaction based on a similar one you've recorded before. It all runs on your device. BRING YOUR DATA WITH YOU • Import transactions from CSV files, such as those exported by your bank. Pexie remembers how you mapped each file's columns. • Export a book as a .pexie file to back it up or move it to another device. • Explore a sample book before you enter your own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your books are stored on your device. No sign-up, no ads, no tracking. ALSO • Works on iPhone and iPad, with support for Dark Mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver. • Available in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
