Tap a slice to drill in. • Every cadence normalized: weekly, every two weeks, monthly, quarterly, yearly, one-time. • Income and leftover: set your take-home pay and see how much of it goes to expenses. • Category budgets with green, amber and red progress and an over-budget badge. • Subscriptions view with a cancel toggle and price-increase flags. • Upcoming charges: a 30-day timeline of what hits your account, with optional reminders the day before. • Month history: a bar chart of past months and month-over-month change. • Search and sort your expenses. • Multi-currency with a base currency and your own exchange rates. • Face ID or passcode lock. • iCloud sync between your devices. • CSV export.
