See exactly where your money goes. Log every expense, set budgets that actually stick, and watch your net worth grow — all on your device, with no account and no cloud sign-up. Most money apps want to link your bank and keep your data on a server. This one doesn't. You add transactions yourself in seconds, everything stays on your phone, and you still get the full picture — budgets, net worth, savings goals, and shared costs — without handing your finances to anyone. WHAT YOU GET - Every transaction sorted: log income, expenses, and transfers with category, account, receipt photo, and notes - Budgets that hold: category limits with custom periods, over-spend alerts, and rollover - Your real net worth: track assets and debts over time so you know your true number - Charts that make sense: spending trends, category breakdowns, and a busy-day heatmap - Goals you can feel: savings targets with progress rings that fill as you save - Shared costs handled: split trips and group expenses, then settle up with the fewest payments PERFECT FOR - Anyone tired of wondering where their paycheck went - Couples and roommates splitting rent, trips, and groceries - Freelancers tracking income, expenses, and tax set-asides - Savers working toward a fund, a trip, or paying down debt WHY NOT JUST USE A SPREADSHEET? A spreadsheet can't scan a receipt, remind you before a bill is due, or draw your net worth as a chart. This does all of it in a few taps — and never asks you to link a bank. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud sync, no ads, and no tracking. Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID, and export your data to CSV or PDF whenever you want. FULL ACCESS Unlock everything — unlimited budgets, net worth tracking, savings goals, group expenses, receipt scanning, bill reminders, and CSV/PDF export — with a weekly or yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Take control of your money today — add your first transaction in under a minute.
