You don't want a budget. You want to see where your money went — without the spreadsheets, manual labor, or all the work to keep it updated. Taffy is spending awareness, not budgeting. Connect your bank, tap each transaction into a bucket, and watch your month come into focus. Most sessions take under a minute. HOW IT WORKS • Tap. Sorted. — All similar transactions, one tap each. • Where it all went. — Your whole month in a single glance, minus the spreadsheet. • It learns your regulars. — Repeat merchants sort themselves. • The receipts, all the way back. — Lifetime trends and your top merchants. • Deck cleared. — Reach the bottom of the pile and actually feel done. WHY TAFFY • Less than a budgeting app — and that's the point. No goals, no envelopes, no monthly setup ritual. • Built for short bursts. Open it after a notification, clear the deck, get on with your day. • Delightful, not clinical. A satisfying tap, a little personality, and the quiet feeling of being on top of it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your bank, never your password. Connections are secured through Plaid — Taffy never sees your login. • Your data is yours. We don't and will never sell it. FREE TO START • Free with one bank connected — the whole app, every feature. No trial timer on the core experience. • Taffy+ unlocks connecting multiple banks, for when one isn't enough. CANADIAN & US BANKS Taffy connects to banks across Canada and the US, securely through Plaid. More regions to come. Stop budgeting. Start seeing. Bucket your spending with Taffy. TAFFY+ SUBSCRIPTION Taffy is free with one bank connected. Taffy+ adds multiple bank connections. • Taffy+ Monthly — CA$6.99/month • Taffy+ Annual — CA$39.99/year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
