No bank login. No account. No email address. Open Qashly and start tracking — it works offline privately on your phone. Most budgeting apps ask to connect to your bank before they show you anything. Qashly never does. Your transactions, budgets and balances live in a secure database on your phone. WHAT MAKES QASHLY DIFFERENT Talk to it, and it acts. Tap the orb and say "twelve pounds for lunch yesterday, and mark the electricity bill paid." Qashly does both. It is a voice assistant that performs actions across your accounts, not a dictation box that writes a note. Undo anything the assistant does. Every AI action lands in a feed with a one-tap undo. Nothing touches your money that you cannot reverse. Point the camera at a receipt. Qashly reads receipts, invoices and statements, pulls out every line, and offers to set up the subscription or bill when it recognises one. See what your reminders will do before they do it. Open "What's Scheduled" for every reminder queued over the next 30 days, and History to see what was sent — plus what was held back, and why. NINE TOOLS, EVERY ONE ON THE FREE PLAN • Bills — due dates, arrears, auto-pay logging, skip a cycle without breaking the schedule • Subscriptions — 59 ready-made services, trial-ending and price-rise alerts, true monthly commitment • Goals — auto-contribute, pace tracking, and a what-if simulator for "Ā£50 more a month" • Loans — full amortisation, plus a payoff simulator showing months and interest saved • Investments — live crypto and stock prices, dividends, and scheduled recurring buys • UK Tax Centre — Scottish and rUK bands, the Ā£100k allowance taper, all five student loan plans, payments on account, PDF export • To-Dos — money tasks linked to the exact bill, subscription or budget line they concern • Calculators — take-home pay, loan, savings, investment, dividend, budget, tip • Currency — 42 currencies with live rates EVERYTHING ELSE • Budgets by category or group, with monthly rollover and a guided setup • Daily spend limit and daily income target, with streaks • Multiple wallets and separate projects for personal, family and business • CSV import built for UK bank exports, including paired money-in / money-out columns, with duplicate detection • Reports for spending, income and net worth; cash flow and P&L statements as PDF • Tags, custom categories, recurring transactions, receipt attachments BUILT TO STAY PRIVATE • PIN lock in hardware-backed storage, with Face ID or fingerprint • Hide balances, and a privacy screen that covers the app in the switcher • No AI tool can change your PIN, disable biometrics or unhide balances — security is walled off from the assistant by design • AI features are optional. Voice, chat and receipt scanning send that request to our AI provider to process it; everything else stays on your device PLANS Free — all nine tools, one item in each. Unlimited to-dos and all eight calculators, forever. 3 receipt scans, 3 minutes of voice and 10 assistant messages to try.
