Jotfi is the fastest expense tracker on iOS. No forms. No dropdowns. No friction. Just type - and it's logged. Type "4.50 coffee" and you've logged a $4.50 coffee. Type "18 uber #work" and it's tagged to work. Type "65 dinner #food #date" and it's stacked with multiple tags. That's it. WHY JOTFI : Most expense apps slow you down.

Spent Money is an expense and budget tracker that keeps everything on your phone. No ads. No account. No sign-up. No cloud sync. Your expenses are stored on your device and nowhere else, so there is nothing to log into and nothing to leak. The only permission it ever asks for is notifications, and only if you turn reminders on. TRACK WHAT YOU SPEND Add an expense in a couple of taps, with a category, a note and a date. Add your income as it arrives - salary, a bonus, anything - and the app shows what is left and what you saved. SET A MONTHLY LIMIT Give yourself a spending cap and the home screen tells you where you stand: amber as you approach it, red once you pass it. You can also give any single category its own budget. NEVER MISS A BILL Keep a list of your monthly payments - rent, bills, subscriptions - and get a reminder on the day each one is due. One tap marks it as paid and adds it as today's expense. An optional daily reminder nudges you if you have not added anything yet. SEE IT AT A GLANCE Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show this month's spending, your budget and what you saved, without opening the app. SEE WHERE THE MONEY WENT Statistics with real charts, not just a list. Filter by category, search, sort, and group your expenses by day, week, month or category. MAKE IT YOURS Recolor the whole app with an accent color, and switch between light, dark or system themes. MADE FOR YOUR LANGUAGE AND YOUR MONEY 37 languages, including full right-to-left layouts for Arabic, Persian and Urdu. 156 currencies, and your own number and date formats. KEEP IT PRIVATE Lock the app with a PIN. Export a backup file whenever you like, and protect it with a password if you want - the file is encrypted on your device before it leaves the app. WHAT IS FREE, FOREVER Unlimited expenses and income. The monthly limit. Search, filters and sorting. The PIN lock. All 37 languages and all 156 currencies. Light, dark and system themes, with a set of purple accent colors. Monthly statistics. The daily reminder. Backup and restore. No ads, in the free version or any other.
