Track every dollar — without linking your bank. Spendler is the expense tracker for people who want to actually understand their money, not just watch it disappear. Log spending in seconds. 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. Bookmark important transactions to find them later. — BUDGETS THAT ACTUALLY WORK — Set a monthly spending limit and category-level budgets. 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. Get notified the day before any subscription renews so nothing slips through. — SAVINGS GOALS — Build goals for what matters: emergency fund, travel, a new laptop, a first apartment. 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.

Break down by category and drill into sub-categories to find your real money leaks. Spot the patterns. 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. Hide your balance instantly when someone's looking over your shoulder.
