No account needed: your data stays on your device, syncs via iCloud across your iPhone and iPad, and is backed up to your iCloud Drive or Google Drive. AI features need internet. KEY FEATURES AI Entry: Log transactions instantly in plain language (e.g. "Breakfast 50k", "Gas 200k by card"). Includes automatic receipt scanning and voice input. AI Finance Assistant: Ask anything about your money — "Where did I spend the most this month?". The assistant analyses your own in-app data and gives concrete advice. Fast Manual Entry: Keypad doubles as a calculator, tag people to a transaction, and search entries by note or amount. Recurring Entries: Set up repeating income and expenses such as rent, salary or subscriptions. The app logs them when due. Shared Ledgers: Create separate ledgers for yourself, family or a business. Share a ledger via iCloud with other iPhone users as Read & Edit or Read only.

PRIVACY & SECURITY About the AI features: To read receipts, voice or text, and to let the Finance Assistant answer, Pig Money sends the necessary data to a third-party AI service over a secure connection. The Assistant only sends a summary of your figures (period totals, trends, categories). This data is used only for immediate analysis, not stored long term. For Premium users, the app also sends the purchase transaction ID so the plan can be confirmed with Apple. Our commitment: Your financial data stays on your device and in your own iCloud and Google Drive (if enabled). Pig Money never sells your data. The free version shows Google AdMob ads.
