Logging a spend should take three seconds. Tuppence opens the keypad, you tap the amount, pick a category, and you are done. No forms, no sign-in, no bank account to connect. WHAT IS LEFT, NOT WHAT YOU SPENT A budget answers one question. Tuppence shows it as the big number: what is left, today, on that limit. One overall budget, or one for each category. THE LEDGER, AND A SEARCH THAT LOOKS EVERYWHERE Every entry on its day, with the day's total. Search covers the whole archive, not just the month on screen: if a spend is there, you find it, even from three years ago. THE SPENDS THAT COME BACK The subscription, the rent, the gym. Set them once and they return on their own, weekly, monthly, yearly, or every so many days. Underneath you see what you are committed to each month, which is the real question when you wonder what to cancel. SAVINGS GOALS Set an amount and, if you want, a date. Tuppence does not tell you how much you have put aside: it tells you how much to put aside each month to get there. That is the only figure you can act on today. WHERE THE MONEY GOES The month split by category, next to the month before, and how it shifts over time. WIDGETS AND SIRI What is left this month on your Home Screen. A cash spend without opening the app. Your repeating expenses one tap away in the widget. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No accounts to connect, no ads, no tracking. Your data lives on your phone and, if you want, on iCloud across your devices. Export it whenever you like, and import a CSV from another app. TUPPENCE+ Adding, editing and deleting entries is free forever, and so are your history and the monthly summary. Tuppence+ adds budgets by category, recurring expenses, savings goals, statistics, widgets, sync and export. — Tuppence Premium subscription — • Free trial, then a weekly or yearly auto-renewing plan • 3 days on the weekly plan, 7 days on the yearly one • Price and duration are shown in the app before you buy • Recording expenses stays free, always Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
