Dispatch
Read full descriptionHide full description
Type your money. One line at a time. Dispatch is an envelope budget you write like a note. Your balance is not money you can spend: all your money already has a job. Dispatch helps you give it one, then track every expense in a single line. HOW IT WORKS β’ Fund the month's envelope: "Salary 5000". β’ Split it into postes (Rent, Groceries, Transportβ¦) until "To dispatch" reaches zero. β’ Spend in one line: "25 Groceries bread". Amount, poste, note, account, date: in any order. β’ Built-in maths (4.50*30), dates in plain words (yesterday, monday, 15/10) and autocomplete. ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOU STAND β’ Home shows what's left to allocate and what went over. β’ A banner warns you when a poste is spending too fast. β’ Adjust your postes mid-month to cover an overspend. β’ Track a poste live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. YOUR ACCOUNTS, AS THEY REALLY ARE β’ Running and savings accounts, with aliases for faster entry. β’ Transfers between accounts, fees included. β’ Expected vs actual balance: spot a forgotten expense instantly. β’ Attach a refund or a top-up to its expense and see the net cost, receipt photo included. SAVINGS & PROJECTS β’ Set money aside for a goal and track its progress. β’ Pin your key projects; use or release savings when you need them. STATISTICS β’ Am I moving forward? What's taking up room? What's changing? Three questions, clear answers across months. WITH YOU EVERYWHERE β’ iPhone and iPad, with a list-and-detail layout on iPad. β’ Apple Watch: log an expense in a few taps. β’ Widgets for the Home Screen and the watch. β’ Synced with your own iCloud. YOUR PRIVACY β’ No Dispatch account, no ads, no tracking. β’ Your data stays in your iCloud. β’ Hide your balances and protect them with Face ID; shake to hide everything. β’ Full backup and restore, attachments included. Works with any currency. In English and French.
