Tarsi is inspired by the Philippine tarsier, a small endangered animal known for its large, watchful eyes. Just like the tarsier, Tarsi helps you see your finances clearly. It gives you a full, honest view of your money so you can make better decisions every day, while also raising awareness about this unique animal and the importance of protecting it. Start tracking your money the right way. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
