Track money at the speed of speech. Qalta is a fast money tracker for people who hate typing. Say a purchase out loud, scan a receipt, or add it manually — in seconds, not minutes. WHY QALTA? • Voice logging — Say "Spent $15 on coffee," "Got paid $2,000," or "Netflix $10 every month." One sentence can hold several transactions. Qalta fills in the amount, category, account, and recurring schedule. • Receipt scanning — Snap a photo, or share a PDF from another app. Qalta reads a receipt, bill, or bank statement and saves it as one transaction or as separate line items. • Shared spaces — Keep a private ledger on this iPhone, or share one with a partner or family. A shared space syncs across your devices and with the people you invite. • Bring your history — Import a CSV from YNAB, Monarch, Copilot, Rocket Money, Spendee, Monefy, ZenMoney, CoinKeeper, and other apps. Past spending comes with you. • Multi-currency accounts — Create accounts in any currency. Live exchange rates help you see your total balance at a glance — ideal for travel and remote work. • Built for iPhone — Home Screen widget, Siri Shortcuts, Back Tap, Action Button, and Apple Pay let you log spending without opening the app. On the latest iOS, a bank notification can do it too. MORE YOU'LL USE EVERY DAY • Budgets — Set limits by category or account and track what's left. • Goals — Link a savings goal to an account and watch the balance close in. • Debts — Track what you owe and what you're owed, then settle when it's paid. • Insights — Spending trends, savings, subscription totals, and patterns that are easy to miss in a spreadsheet. • Analytics — Category breakdowns and a cash-flow view of where money comes from and where it goes. • Recurring transactions — Subscriptions, bills, and income, set manually or by voice. • Reminders — A nudge to log the day, and a heads-up the day before a payment. • Search & filters — Find any transaction in seconds. • CSV export — Your data, your spreadsheet. • Privacy first — A private space stays on your device. Optional iCloud backup. A shared space is uploaded only when you choose to share it. No ads. Start with the free plan. Upgrade to Qalta Pro for unlimited transactions, voice, and scans — and for shared spaces.
