People abandon expense trackers because typing every purchase is a hassle. With SwiftSpend, you can just voice your expenses to a Telegram bot, and the app will calculate exactly how much you can spend today to comfortably make it to payday. Where does your money go? No more struggling with complex spreadsheets or worrying about security by giving an app access to your bank account. SwiftSpend is designed for those who want strict financial control, spending no more than 3 seconds a day on it. WHY SWIFTSPEND IS DIFFERENT: Lightning-Fast Entry (Voice or Text): Send a Telegram message to the bot like "Spent $25 on a taxi and $3 on coffee." It automatically recognizes the amounts and categories, logging the expense faster than you can put your phone back in your pocket. One-Tap Login (New): No long registrations. Use the secure "Sign in with Apple." Later, you can link your Telegram in the settings, combining everything into one secure account. "Safe to Spend" Daily Limits: The app divides your remaining balance by the days left in the month. You always see the exact amount you can safely spend right now. 100% Private & Offline: We do not require bank connections. Your data stays with you, all amounts can be hidden with one tap, and every screen works without the internet. Smart Forecast & AI Analytics: SwiftSpend predicts your expenses until the end of the month based on your history. On the 1st of every month, AI delivers a brief personal breakdown: where your money went and what needs to change.
