See where it really goes. Build the habits that make budgets stick. No bank login. No data harvesting. No financial accounts to connect. Your money, in your hands. — LOG SPENDING IN SECONDS — Add an expense in three taps: amount, category, done. Attach a photo of the receipt by scanning it with your camera. Track cash, credit cards, debit, and digital wallets — all in one place.

Watch your real spending tick against your plan in real time. Compare month-over-month and finally see the patterns hiding in your habits. — NEVER MISS A SUBSCRIPTION — Add every recurring payment — Netflix, Spotify, gym, insurance, that random app from 2022.

Track every contribution. Hit the milestone. Start the next one. — SMART AUTO-CATEGORIZATION — Set keyword rules once and Spendler categorizes transactions automatically as you log them.

Fix the leaks. — ASK PENNY — YOUR AI MONEY ASSISTANT — Chat with Penny, the built-in AI that actually knows your spending. Ask "how much did I spend on coffee this month?" or "what's my biggest leak?" Get answers, not spreadsheets. — PEOPLE & SHARED EXPENSES — Track money you've lent, money you owe, Venmo splits with roommates, the dinner you covered last week. Running balance per person. No more awkward texts. — OFFLINE-FIRST, PRIVACY-FIRST — Log transactions without internet — Spendler syncs the moment you're back online.
