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. You tap through categories, pick dates, fill in fields - by the time you're done, you've forgotten why you opened the app. Jotfi works at the speed of thought. You type one line the moment you spend. Natural, fast, and actually something you'll stick with. HOW IT WORKS : → Just the amount: type "12" → logged as cash → Add a note: type "4.50 coffee" → logged with note → Add a tag: type "18 uber #work" → organised by category → Stack tags: type "65 dinner #food #date" → as many tags as you need No date picking - entries are timestamped automatically. No category tapping - tags are inline, fast, and yours. No mandatory notes - sometimes you just spent cash. FEATURES : • Instant text entry - one line, done • Smart tag system - #tag anything, filter by anything • Daily and monthly view - see exactly where your money goes • Calendar history - browse spending day by day, month by month • Monthly spending recap - automatic summary with trends • Export to CSV or plain text - your data, your way • Works fully offline - no account, no sync required • Dark mode - looks great in any lighting JOTFI PRO : Free users can log up to 4 entries per day and use up to 2 tags.
