Buxo is a personal-finance manager with privacy by design. It categorizes your expenses automatically using AI โ€” but only when you decide, and always after anonymizing your data on-device. FEATURES โ€ข Voice capture: say "Spent 12 dollars at Whole Foods" and the app creates the transaction. โ€ข PDF statement import: works with most US and EU banks. Bulk AI categorization. โ€ข Per-category budgets with smart suggestions from your spending patterns. โ€ข Insights with interactive charts: category breakdown, trends, spending pace. โ€ข 6 selectable color themes. โ€ข Optional iCloud sync across your devices (encrypted by Apple). โ€ข CSV and PDF export with one tap. PRIVACY BY DESIGN โ€ข Your data lives on your iPhone. Period. โ€ข AI is optional: three independent toggles (voice, PDF, suggestions) are off by default. โ€ข Before any AI call: automatic anonymization strips IBAN, ID numbers, credit cards, phones, emails, URLs, postal codes, and person names. โ€ข Three AI providers (Cloudflare, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) with transparent fallback: if one fails, another responds. โ€ข On-disk encryption with Data Protection Complete: data unreadable while the device is locked. โ€ข "Delete all my data" button always available.
