Outlayr keeps your subscriptions, bills, and everyday spending in one place. Log a purchase by typing one sentence, saying it, or scanning the receipt. Subscriptions and paychecks log themselves on their day, and Upcoming shows what comes next and what your subscriptions and bills cost each month. Set a budget for each category or one for the whole month, and see where your pace ends before the month does. THREE WAYS TO LOG Type it. One sentence, one screen, done in seconds. Say it. Hold the mic, speak the expense, the fields fill themselves. Scan it. Point the camera at a receipt and the merchant, amount, and date come back filled in. BUDGETS THAT HOLD Set a limit per category, or one overall limit for the month. Carry over what you did not spend. See the curve, not just a number. GOALS Save toward something with a target and a date. Outlayr shows the pace you need and the pace you are on. ACCOUNTS AND TRANSFERS Track cash, cards, and debts side by side. Move money between accounts without double counting it. EVERY CURRENCY Log in any currency and read totals in yours, converted at the rate on the day it happened. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND BILLS Rent, streaming, salary. Set the rhythm once and each one logs itself on its day. Upcoming adds up what your subscriptions and bills cost each month, and a reminder can come before each charge. INSIGHTS Where it went, by category and by month. Net worth over time. Income against spending, on a calendar that matches how you actually get paid. WIDGETS Four of them, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. Today's spending, what is left in the budget, your recent entries, and insights. One tap from the widget straight into a new entry. BUILT FOR iOS Native throughout, not a website in a wrapper. Your entries are searchable from Spotlight. Light and dark themes, alternate app icons, and a search that finds a transaction from three months ago before you finish typing. Export everything to CSV whenever you want it. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything is stored on your device first, so the app works with no signal. Sync across your devices is optional. No ads, and your data is never sold. Outlayr is open source, at github.com/danestves/outlayr. English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. Terms of Use: https://tryoutlayr.com/terms
