Pineapple shows you everything you buy online, in one place, so you stay in control of it. Connect your Gmail and Pineapple finds your order emails on its own. There's nothing to type and no bank login. EVERYTHING YOU BOUGHT Every order shows up with what it was, where it is (Ordered, Shipped, Delivered) and what it cost. SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES See every item you bought, sorted by category and store, and what you spent this month or over any period you choose. SET A SPENDING LIMIT Pick the shopping you'd like to cut back on, like Clothing & Shoes or one store, and set a limit. Perle shows what's left, and refunds count back toward it. EVERY RETURN WINDOW IN SIGHT Pineapple works out each purchase's return deadline and reminds you before one closes. Tap Return and Pineapple opens the store's own return page with your order number copied. REFUNDS, TRACKED Pineapple reads the store's emails and shows each return until its refund arrives, with what's still to come. PINEAPPLE PLUS Your purchases, what you spent, refunds, deadlines and reminders are free. Plus goes deeper: every month in detail and your shopping patterns, more than one spending limit, all of Perle's suggested priorities, a second inbox, the original store emails, and export to a spreadsheet. YOUR EMAIL Pineapple reads purchase emails only. It keeps what it learns from an email (store, items, prices, dates) and doesn't store the email itself. You can delete your account in Settings at any time. Pineapple works with Gmail accounts today. Pineapple Plus is an optional monthly or yearly subscription, with a free trial for new subscribers. Prices are shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when the trial ends. It renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple ID's subscription settings.
