Consumii
Read full descriptionHide full description
Consumii helps you spend more mindfully. Track every purchase from the first idea to long-term reflection - and see what things really cost in hours of your life. SEE THE REAL COST Enter your hourly wage once, and Consumii shows how many hours of work each purchase costs. A price becomes something more real - and that changes how you decide. GUT CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY Every planned item has a quick swipe check with questions made for its category - right for yes, left for no. A warm meter shows how ready you are, and how your feeling and the price changed since last time. TRACK EVERY PURCHASE FROM IDEA TO OUTCOME Follow each item through its full journey: planned, purchased, sold, returned, disposed, or renounced. Add items in seconds from a product link or photo. Changed your mind about an online order? Mark it as cancelled before it arrives. CONTRACTS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS Got a phone or console on a contract? See what the device really costs once the tariff is taken out. Track Netflix, the gym and co. with minimum term and notice period, see what they cost per year, and get a reminder before the withdrawal period ends or the last day to cancel. TRIPS Turn a group into a trip with dates and a budget. Save up before you go, see what's left per day while you're away, and look back on what it cost when you're home. YOUR COLLECTIONS Games, books, vinyl โ gather the things you own into your own collections. Consumii suggests what might fit, and your things run along a thread through the years. Tap "Connect the dots" and watch them light up one by one. KNOW IF IT WAS WORTH IT At 30, 90, 180, and 360 days after buying, Consumii checks in: are you still happy with it, and would you buy it again? Over time, you build a clearer picture of your best and worst spending decisions. WANT OR NEED? BE HONEST. Classify every item as a want or a need and see where your money goes by instinct versus intention. BUDGETS, ANALYTICS, AND WIDGETS Set monthly budgets overall or by category, explore clean charts and spending trends, and keep your progress visible with 15 Home Screen widgets. IMPULSE LOGGING, RECEIPTS, AND SPOTLIGHT Log impulse purchases, scan and attach receipts, and find items instantly with Spotlight search. MADE FOR IPHONE, IPAD AND IPHONE DUO A fresh, calm design in iOS 26 Liquid Glass. Closed, iPhone Duo works like any iPhone. Half open in book mode, your list and the selected item sit on two pages, split at the fold; fully open, they share the big screen โ on iPad too. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No servers. No tracking. No account required. Your data stays on your device, with optional iCloud sync in your private Apple account. NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER. Consumii is free to use, and Consumii Pro is a one-time purchase that removes the 40-item limit. All features are included in the free tier.
