Your spending never leaves your iPhone. No account, no server, no sign-up โ€” just the fastest way to see where your money goes. Tappel is a private spending tracker built deep into iOS. Log an expense in two seconds from Siri, the Action Button, a widget, or an NFC tag โ€” or wire an Apple Pay automation and let purchases log themselves. Point the camera at a paper receipt and the total, the shop and the date fill themselves in. WHY TAPPEL โ€ข Private by architecture โ€” everything stays on your device and your own iCloud. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect. โ€ข Two-second capture โ€” Siri, the Action Button, widgets, NFC and App Intents. โ€ข Pay once, own it forever โ€” the personal app has no subscription. Subscription fatigue is why Tappel exists. FEATURES โ€ข Receipt scanning โ€” read on your phone; the photo is never saved or sent โ€ข Every currency โ€” European Central Bank rates where it publishes them, a daily market rate for the rest, cached on-device โ€ข Calm monthly budgets โ€” over budget reads in ink, never red โ€ข Recurring radar spots subscriptions before they surprise you โ€ข Insights โ€” category breakdown, six-month trend, top merchants โ€ข Face ID lock โ€ข Custom categories โ€” presets or your own โ€ข Export as CSV or JSON, import from CSV, any time โ€ข Family budget โ€” share one limit, or none; each member uses their own Lifetime; individual purchases stay private โ€ข iCloud sync between your iPhones โ€ข Tappel Business, for companies in Poland โ€” invoices sent to and downloaded from KSeF, costs, a monthly summary and a package for your accountant; three documents free No bank login. No ads. No tracking. Just your money, quietly tracked. SUBSCRIPTION Tappel Business is an optional auto-renewable subscription, sold in Poland: 19.99 PLN a month or 149 PLN a year, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
