Nami is the money app for pay that moves. Shift workers, part timers, freelancers and anyone tired of guessing what payday will bring: Nami shows where your money went, what you have earned and what is on its way. PAY BY TAP, AND NAMI LOGS IT Tap to Log puts each purchase on today's figure the moment you pay, with nothing to type. A Shortcuts automation on Wallet's own trigger hands Nami the amount and the shop when you pay with Apple Pay. Nami does not read your card or Apple Pay. You set the automation up once, following the steps in Nami, and each purchase counts towards today, the month and your budget, kept in your account. Cash, direct debits and anything else go in with Add a purchase or a statement. YOUR DAY ON THE LOCK SCREEN Today's spend and what is left of your monthly budget sit on your Lock Screen from your morning brief until 2am. On a shift, your pay counts up as you work, worked out on your phone from your own rota. A CALM BRIEF EVERY MORNING Yesterday's spending, your next pay and one tip, at the time you choose. Tap it and it opens in Nami. SEE WHERE YOUR MONTH WENT Insights sets this month against last month at the same point, category by category. Set a monthly budget and a limit on the category that gets away from you. Every limit sits inside your budget, so nothing is counted twice. KNOW WHEN YOU GET PAID Point Nami at the calendar your rota lives in and it prices every shift, works out your pay cycle and shows what your next payslip should be before it lands. Add each payslip and Nami tunes the next estimate to your own deductions. Cut off dates, unpaid breaks and changed shifts are handled. Your calendar is read on your phone, and event titles never leave it. ASK NAMI ABOUT YOUR MONEY Ask a question in plain words and Nami answers from your own figures, with the numbers drawn as tiles. Free includes three questions a day. Pro includes fifty, answered by Nami's best model.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Nami can never move your money. Statements are off until you turn them on in Profile.
