Sandouq is a modern cash book that lives entirely on your iPhone. Track income, expenses, receipts, and balances across multiple cash boxes — without giving up your privacy.

The recipient needs an Apple ID, and you stay in control of who has access. A separate "Public link sharing" toggle, off by default, controls whether the invitation can be delivered through any channel (WhatsApp, Telegram) or only through Apple's first-party clients (iMessage, Mail). BILINGUAL FROM DAY ONE Sandouq speaks both Arabic and English natively — full RTL layout, Eastern Arabic numerals, locale-aware currency formatting. Multi-currency support handles USD, EUR, IQD, and many others. PDF reports render right-to-left when Arabic is active. NO THIRD-PARTY DEPENDENCIES Sandouq is built using Apple frameworks only — SwiftUI, SwiftData, CloudKit. No advertising SDKs, no analytics SDKs, no tracker libraries.
