It's the expense tracker, budget planner, and money manager for people who want full control of their finances and full ownership of their data. LOG EXPENSES IN SECONDS Double-tap the back of your iPhone to launch the expense shortcut — even when the app is closed. Add a coffee, lunch, or gas stop without unlocking. Auto-fill from Apple Pay transactions with a single tap. The fastest way to log spending we've seen on iOS. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Everything is stored locally on your device. No cloud sync. No account required. Works completely offline. Export your data to JSON anytime for personal backups or analysis. Your spending stays yours alone — we never see it, and we never want to.

STAY ON YOUR BUDGETS Set budgets per category with flexible periods: weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Visual progress rings and color-coded bars (green, amber, red) show where you stand at a glance. No spreadsheet needed.

Track Netflix, Spotify, gym memberships, software, and recurring bills in one place. See your true monthly recurring cost. Get push notifications 1, 3, or 7 days before each renewal. The built-in calendar shows everything renewing this month. DAILY REMINDER Optional 8 PM nudge: "Did you log today's spending?" A gentle local notification to keep your tracking up to date. Toggle on or off anytime in Settings. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from 8 accent colors — each ships with a matching app icon that updates on your Home Screen.
