Your spending never leaves your iPhone. No account, no server, no sign-up β€” just the fastest way to see where your money goes. Tappel is a private spending tracker built deep into iOS. Log an expense in two seconds from Siri, the Action Button, a widget, or an NFC tag β€” or wire an Apple Pay automation and let purchases log themselves. Point the camera at a paper receipt and the total, the shop and the date fill themselves in. WHY TAPPEL β€’ Private by architecture β€” everything stays on your device and your own iCloud. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect. β€’ Two-second capture β€” Siri, the Action Button, widgets, NFC and App Intents. β€’ Pay once, own it forever β€” the personal app has no subscription. Subscription fatigue is why Tappel exists. FEATURES β€’ Receipt scanning β€” read on your phone; the photo is never saved or sent β€’ Every currency β€” European Central Bank rates where it publishes them, a daily market rate for the rest, cached on-device β€’ Calm monthly budgets β€” over budget reads in ink, never red β€’ Recurring radar spots subscriptions before they surprise you β€’ Insights β€” category breakdown, six-month trend, top merchants β€’ Face ID lock β€’ Custom categories β€” presets or your own β€’ Export as CSV or JSON, import from CSV, any time β€’ Family budget β€” share one limit, or none; each member uses their own Lifetime; individual purchases stay private β€’ iCloud sync between your iPhones β€’ Tappel Business, for companies in Poland β€” invoices sent to and downloaded from KSeF, costs, a monthly summary and a package for your accountant; three documents free No bank login. No ads. No tracking. Just your money, quietly tracked. SUBSCRIPTION Tappel Business is an optional auto-renewable subscription, sold in Poland: 19.99 PLN a month or 149 PLN a year, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
