Speak to the app and it is logged. Just say it out loud, SpendLow writes it down and save it indefinitely! Most budget apps make you do the work of an accountant. Type the amount. Pick a category. Do the math. Keep the receipt somewhere. Nobody keeps that up. SpendLow does it for you. TALK YOUR EXPENSES, DO NOT TYPE THEM Say "twenty two dollars at the grocery store" and it is saved. No typing, no number pad, no menus. Log a purchase with your voice while you walk out of the store, drive home, or wait in line. If you hate entering expenses by hand, this is the app. SCAN A RECEIPT WITH YOUR CAMERA Take a photo of any receipt, bill, invoice, or pay stub and SpendLow reads the total, the date, and the store, then files it in the right category. You can also scan a screenshot of an online order or a payment confirmation. One picture and you are done. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS FOR TAXES Every receipt you scan can be saved forever in the app. When tax time comes, or the IRS asks, or you need to return something, claim a warranty, get reimbursed, or write off a business expense, the proof is already saved and easy to find. No shoebox of paper. No digging through your camera roll in April. KNOW WHAT YOU CAN SPEND TODAY One simple number tells you how much is safe to spend today. It uses the money you actually have, the bills that are still coming, and what you are saving. Tap it to see exactly how the number was worked out. No guessing. FIND SUBSCRIPTIONS YOU FORGOT ABOUT SpendLow watches for charges that keep coming back and shows you the subscriptions and bills draining your account every month. Most people find money they did not know they were spending. NO BANK LOGIN REQUIRED You do not have to connect your bank account or hand over your bank password. Talk, scan, or tap to add spending. Your money stays your business. ALSO INSIDE Envelope budgeting for food, gas, fun, and bills, with no guilt when you go over Savings goals for a trip, a car, an emergency fund, or anything you are working toward Debt payoff plan with debt snowball or highest interest first, and the date you become debt free Net worth in one simple view Share one budget with your partner, husband, wife, or roommate, each with your own login Ask questions about your own spending and get a straight answer Spending reports by week or month, plus export to a spreadsheet for taxes or your accountant Home screen widget so your number is there before you spend Works in 13 currencies and 8 languages MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE NUMBERS No spreadsheets. No math. No lectures. Miss a few days and nothing falls apart. There is always an undo button, and you can start fresh any time. Simple enough for a busy brain, including if you have ADHD, without making a big deal about it. PRIVACY Your money data is yours. No ads. We never sell your information. SpendLow Pro unlocks everything. The yearly plan comes with a 7 day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
