XSD

Features
Read full description

XSD is a tool for anyone working with the Italian FatturaPA electronic invoice format — accountants, consultants, developers, SMBs — who needs to validate invoices on the go. WHAT IT DOES Real XSD validation. The XML is checked against the official Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) schema and every error is reported with the exact line and column: missing required elements, values that do not match the expected pattern, wrong element ordering. No "well-formed and you're done". Both official schemas bundled: FatturaPA ordinary v1.2.2 and FatturaPA simplified v1.0. The correct one is detected automatically from the XML namespace — you never have to choose by hand. Support for signed .p7m files (CAdES-BES). The PKCS#7 container is opened automatically and the embedded XML is validated like a regular .xml. Most real invoices arrive signed, and most phone tools cannot open them — this one can. Digital signature check at two levels: • Cryptographic validity — content digest and RSA signature are recomputed with the signer certificate's public key. If a single byte has been changed after signing, the app flags it. • System trust — the certificate is evaluated against your device's root CA store (the same one Safari uses). Important transparency note: the app does NOT check inclusion of the certificate in the official Italian Revenue Agency Trust List (Italian TSL, ETSI TS 119 612). That administrative check is distinct from cryptographic validity and requires an online channel to AdE. Readable invoice preview using the official Agenzia delle Entrate stylesheet (the same one used on the FatturaPA portal), with PDF export via the iOS share sheet. Generic XML mode. Use any custom XSD to validate any XML, beyond the FatturaPA world. "Open in XSD" from Mail, Files, AirDrop and any other app: .xml and .xml.p7m files are loaded directly. OFFLINE AND PRIVATE Everything happens on the device. No uploads, no account, no telemetry. Your invoices never leave your phone. NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR • Transmission to SDI (requires an accredited channel). • Legal long-term archival (requires a dedicated service). • Administrative validation against the official TSL. XSD is a check-and-verify tool, not a management system.

Money doesn’t vanish. It slips away, one small expense at a time. Goose is a manual expense tracker: you type each expense yourself, in a few seconds. That tiny act is the whole point - what you write down, you remember. What you remember, you control. TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR SPENDING No bank logins. No feed of transactions you scroll past and forget. You add the coffee, the taxi, the groceries - and your month stops being a mystery. KNOW WHAT’S LEFT THIS MONTH Goose takes your average daily spending and projects it across the rest of the month, so you can see where you’re likely to end up. Not a verdict at the end of the month - a number that updates every day, while you can still do something about it. APPLE PAY, WITHOUT THE TYPING Set it up once, and after every Apple Pay purchase, Goose opens with the amount and merchant already filled in. One tap to save. Manual tracking, minus the typing that makes people quit. ADD EXPENSES IN SECONDS Amount, category, done. Add income and expenses in just a few taps. Add a note if you want one, or skip it if you don’t. TRACK MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS Cash, card, savings - each account in its own currency, with every balance in one place. TRANSFERS WITH AUTOMATIC CURRENCY CONVERSION Move money between your accounts, even in different currencies. Goose automatically applies the exchange rate, so both sides stay accurate. GET WARNED BEFORE OVERSPENDING Set a budget for an account or a single category. Goose warns you as you’re adding the expense - not the morning after. SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES Weekly and monthly charts show your spending by category, monthly net, daily average, and biggest categories. Filter your history by type, category, or date to find any transaction fast. WHAT’S INSIDE - Manual expense and income tracking - Multiple accounts with separate currencies - Transfers with automatic exchange rates - Monthly spending forecasts based on your daily average - Budgets for accounts and categories, with overspending warnings - Custom categories and subcategories with icons - Weekly, monthly, and category charts - Full transaction history with filters - Apple Pay Shortcut for one-tap logging - Light and dark themes - English and Russian FREE AND PRO The free version includes one account, unlimited history, one account budget, and monthly reports for the last three months.

A FEW HONEST NOTES Goose uses Sign in with Apple, so your data follows you to any device where you sign in with the same Apple Account. An internet connection is required to save new entries. There are no ads, and Goose never asks for your bank credentials. Geese are famously good at noticing things and loudly telling you about them. This one only does it about your budget. Add your first expense. By the end of the week, you’ll already see the shape of your month. Privacy Policy: https://kolkovsky.app/goose/privacy Terms of Use: https://kolkovsky.app/goose/terms
