Offin is a private budget and expense tracker that runs 100% on your iPhone. Import your bank statements as PDF or CSV — on-device AI categorizes months of history in seconds. No bank login. No subscription. PAY ONCE. OWN IT FOREVER. No monthly fees, no annual renewals, no "premium" upsell. One purchase unlocks everything, for life. STOP TYPING TRANSACTIONS BY HAND Other trackers make you enter every coffee manually. Offin gives you four faster ways in: → Import bank statements — drop in PDF or CSV statements from your bank and watch months of history appear in seconds. → Tap with Apple Pay — purchases logged automatically via Shortcuts. No bank link, no credentials shared. → Just say it — voice input turns "twelve dollars at Chipotle" into a categorized transaction. → Type it — quick manual entry when you want it. AI THAT WORKS WITHOUT THE INTERNET Offin categorizes every transaction with an on-device machine learning model built for US spending — and uses Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones. Nothing ever leaves your phone. Don't agree with a category? Create your own categories and set custom rules, and Offin follows your system automatically from then on. SEE EXACTLY WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES → Net worth graph, daily spending, and monthly reviews on one home screen → Budgets with live progress → Upcoming bills and cash flow, so nothing surprises you → Insights with spending and savings charts, top merchants, and trends → Every account in one activity feed with powerful search and filters → Detailed per-account views PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE, NOT BY PROMISE Most finance apps ask you to hand over your bank credentials to a third-party aggregator. Offin never connects to your bank at all. Your data lives in one place — your phone — protected by Face ID. It works with no internet connection, because it never needs one. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who wants a real budget and expense tracker without surrendering bank logins, paying rent on their own data, or becoming the product. Download Offin. Import a statement. Know your money in five minutes.
