Most money decisions aren't really about math. They're about knowing where you stand, and trusting yourself to make the call. Sadeed is a quiet, private accountant that lives on your iPhone and helps you do exactly that. It keeps an honest picture of your money: what's coming in, what's going out, what you're worth, and how much you can comfortably spend this month without paying for it later. Nothing you enter ever leaves your phone. No account to create, no login, no servers of ours in the middle. Just your finances, kept close. A calmer way to track Sadeed never connects to your bank. There's no login to hand over and no account to link. Instead it meets the information where it already is: snap a photo of a receipt, import a bank statement, or let Sadeed read the payment texts you choose from your bank and turn them into expenses. Everything it captures waits in one place for you to confirm, so nothing is ever recorded behind your back. Answers, not just numbers Before you spend, ask the question that actually matters: can I afford this? Sadeed looks ahead at your cash flow, weighs the purchase in cash or in installments, and shows you the reasoning behind the answer. When you're planning further out, you'll find careful tools for goals, paying down debt, retirement, renting versus buying, and building a portfolio. The kind of planning you'd usually pay someone to run for you. Built for how you actually live Hold and convert across currencies, and track gold and silver by the gram. If a rate is missing, Sadeed says so instead of inventing one. And because faith is part of many people's finances, zakat is built in, calculated on your wealth and aware of nisab and hawl, alongside halal stock screening, income purification, and an emergency-fund check sized to your household. Ask Sadeed, or just tell Siri Sadeed comes with an accountant that actually knows you. It understands your money and the way you spend, so its answers fit your real situation instead of offering generic advice, and it keeps steering you toward the goals you've set. Ask in your own words: "How's my budget?" "Can I afford a 4,000 phone?" "How much zakat do I owe this year?" It replies using Apple Intelligence, entirely on your device, in your language. And much of the app works hands-free through Siri, too: record a spend, log income, check your budget, or ask what you can afford, all in a single sentence. Private by nature Sadeed works offline. It doesn't connect to your bank, show ads, track you, or collect anything at all. If you turn on sync across your devices, your data travels only through your own private iCloud, never anywhere we can see. Sadeed Pro The whole toolkit is free: the tracking, the budgeting, and every planner and calculator. Pro is for when you want an accountant that keeps working while you get on with life. It adds private sync across your iPhone and iPad, the Ask Sadeed assistant in chat and Siri, automatic bank-SMS capture, unlimited statement imports, and a dashboard that quietly watches what matters: your financial health, unusual spending, and a gentle nudge when something starts to drift. Money you understand, and the confidence to act on it. That's Sadeed. —————————— Sadeed Pro is an auto-renewable subscription.
