SaySpend is a fast voice-first expense tracker for people who forget to log purchases. Just say what you spent. SaySpend turns a quick phrase like "coffee 5 dollars" or "Uber 17" into a clean expense entry you can review, edit, and track. No bank link required. No spreadsheet. No long form every time you buy coffee. Why SaySpend is different: - Log everyday expenses by voice in seconds - Add manual expenses when speaking is not convenient - Track coffee, transport, groceries, shopping, bills, wellness, subscriptions, and more - See daily spend, monthly spend, and category totals - Set a daily limit and keep it visible - Use widgets, shortcuts, and quick entry from system surfaces - Scan receipts with Pro - Use optional AI parsing, smart titles, and spending summaries with Pro - Use guest mode locally or sign in to sync across devices SaySpend is built around active spending awareness. Many budget apps show transactions after they happen. SaySpend is for the moment you spend, while the purchase is still fresh. The app is inspired by behavioral science principles such as self-monitoring, low-friction check-ins, and daily feedback. Research suggests self-monitoring can improve awareness and support self-control, but SaySpend does not guarantee savings. SaySpend is not financial, tax, investment, credit, debt, or legal advice. Expense entries and AI summaries are informational and always editable. Terms of Use (EULA): https://stillfrost.com/sayspend/terms Privacy Policy: https://stillfrost.com/sayspend/privacy
