A simple cashflow budgeting app that shows you how much you can safely spend. Instead of starting over every month, Taproot gives you a clear timeline of your income, bills, subscriptions, and planned spending. See what’s coming, understand what needs to be covered, and know what money is truly available. No complicated categories. No mental math. No guesswork. Just a clear picture of your money. KNOW WHAT YOU CAN SAFELY SPEND Taproot looks ahead at your upcoming bills and income to calculate your Safe Balance: the amount of money you need to keep available to cover what's coming up. Everything above that is Extra Money you can decide to spend, save, or invest. SET IT UP ONCE Add your recurring income, bills, transfers, and planned spending. Tell Taproot when and how often they happen, and your financial timeline stays up to date. BUDGET TOGETHER Share a budget with a partner, roommate, or anyone else managing money with you. Keep your finances organized without having to piece everything together. Or keep your budget private. TRACK CREDIT CARD SPENDING Account for spending and bills that you typically pay with a credit card and see how it impacts your overall cashflow. UNDERSTAND YOUR MONEY Use analytics to see where your money goes, forecast your future cashflow, and understand how your spending changes over time. BUILT FOR CLARITY Taproot is designed to make budgeting feel less like a chore. No ads. No complicated budgeting system. Just a better way to understand what money is available and what you can safely spend. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS We built Taproot to help you take control of your money and bring more clarity to your financial life. For that reason, we will never interrupt your experience with ads.

You are paying more than you think. The average household now carries 12 active subscriptions. Streaming services creep up in price. Insurance premiums quietly rise. Free trials convert to paid plans you forgot about. A $5 charge here, a $15 charge there -- and suddenly you are spending hundreds more per month than you realize. BillCast was built to fix that. ONE PLACE FOR EVERY RECURRING BILL Netflix. Electric. Car insurance. iCloud. Gym. Phone. BillCast brings all of your subscriptions and recurring payments together in a single dashboard -- regardless of which credit card or bank account pays for them. Add subscriptions in seconds, and BillCast categorizes them automatically with interactive charts you can explore by tapping any category. AI INSIGHTS THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING BillCast generates a plain-English summary of your financial health -- not a wall of numbers, but a few clear sentences telling you what is happening and what to do next. On-device machine learning categorizes your spending and surfaces patterns you would never notice by looking at a bank statement. KNOW WHAT IS COMING BEFORE IT HITS BillCast does not just track what you have already paid -- it looks ahead. The built-in forecasting engine uses your payment history to project what the next week, month, or quarter will cost you. Annual renewals, quarterly premiums, seasonal spikes -- all modeled before the charges arrive. DEEP SPENDING ANALYSIS, ZERO EFFORT Interactive category breakdowns show exactly where your money goes. Trend charts reveal whether your spending is creeping up month over month. The insights engine flags silent price increases the moment a charge goes up -- even by a dollar. It also catches subscriptions you have not used in months and duplicate services that overlap, like paying for both YouTube Premium and Spotify. Users who act on these insights save an average of $20 per month. SCAN ANY RECEIPT IN SECONDS On iPhone and iPad, point your camera at a bill or receipt and BillCast reads it instantly using on-device text recognition. On Mac, drag and drop an image or PDF. The merchant name, amount, and date are extracted automatically -- no typing required. SEAMLESS SYNC ACROSS EVERY APPLE DEVICE Add a subscription on your iPhone during lunch. Review your spending dashboard on your Mac that evening. Check upcoming bills on your iPad over the weekend. BillCast uses iCloud to keep everything perfectly in sync -- no accounts to create, no passwords to remember, no setup at all. PRIVACY IS NOT A FEATURE -- IT IS THE FOUNDATION BillCast never sees your financial data. All AI analysis, receipt parsing, and spending forecasts run entirely on your device. Everything is stored in your personal iCloud account. There are no external servers, no analytics SDKs, no third-party trackers. Most finance apps send your data to the cloud to power their AI. BillCast does not. Your financial life is yours alone. DESIGNED FOR THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM BillCast is a native app crafted with SwiftUI and Apple's latest Liquid Glass design language. It supports Dynamic Type, adapts beautifully to Dark Mode, and takes full advantage of keyboard shortcuts and trackpad gestures on Mac. It is not a web wrapper or a cross-platform port -- it is built for Apple, by someone who cares about the details. GET STARTED FREE -- UPGRADE WHEN YOU ARE READY Track up to 5 subscriptions completely free, forever. BillCast Premium unlocks unlimited subscriptions, advanced spending trends, price-increase detection, receipt scanning, and priority support. Premium: $4.99/month or $39.99/year. Join thousands of people who finally know exactly where their money goes. Download BillCast today.
