A quieter way to see where your money goes. Most of us don't need another dashboard — more charts, alerts, goals, or financial jargon. Sometimes it just helps to know where the money went. TapSpent is a private spending tracker built to make that habit effortless. Log an expense in seconds with a double-tap on the back of your iPhone. Or add it by hand, scan a receipt, or import a bank statement — and let Apple Intelligence, when available, pull the details from bills, receipts, and statements for you. No accounts. No ads. No bank connections. Your money stays your business. Everything lives on your device — even a bank statement is read on your phone and never uploaded. Export anytime as a CSV to keep wherever you like.
