Read full description

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.
