By the end of the month, you know where it went. Not roughly — actually. That costs you one line a day. Type tacos 11.40 and press enter. SpendPal reads the amount, files the category, and writes it onto today's page. A paper notebook that happens to do the arithmetic. One line, then you're done Write in plain words and let the app sort out the rest. It learns your regulars, so the second coffee lands in the right place without being told. Tap any row to fix it. Tap the date to flip back and write into an earlier day. Drawn by hand, not by a spreadsheet Every page is handwriting on paper, and a small mascot called pal keeps you company in the corner. It's the rare money app you don't mind opening. A month you can read at a glance Set one monthly number. A single bar fills as you spend, next to what you spent last month and where it went. No alerts, no red screens, no charts you didn't ask for. Two seconds from the lock screen The widget shows today's total and a line to write in. Tap it and you land in the app with the keyboard already up. Home Screen and Lock Screen sizes included. Nobody asks for your bank No account, no sign-up, no bank login, no server of ours. Everything lives on the phone, and iCloud sync — on by default, one tap to stop — goes to your own private database. Keep a backup file wherever you like. Deleting the app deletes the data — that's the point. Also inside 30+ currencies · dark mode that actually looks like paper at night · works with no connection, ever · no ads, no tracking, no email asking you to come back. What Premium opens The first five lines are yours to write, with five categories and day, week and month trends. Premium lifts both limits, adds year and all-time trends, and turns on CSV import and export. Weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
