Two taps and a spend is logged. That's the whole pitch. Open Cashpane. Tap +10. Tap Food. Done. Your dashboard shows what you've got, what you spent this month, and how much is left. That's it. — FAST The app opens straight to the amount. +5, +10, +50 chips so you almost never type a number. A haptic confirms the save. Two taps, back to life. — ON YOUR PHONE Your spending stays on your phone. No account to make, no bank login, no ads, no cloud sync. Every expense, income, and limit lives in a local database on your device — and in your iPhone backup if you keep one. The only thing Cashpane sends anywhere is anonymous crash and performance data, so we can find and fix bugs quickly. What you spent never leaves your phone. — FREE The whole app. No subscription, no "Pro" upgrade, no locked features, no ads. Free now and free later. — MADE FOR iOS Swift Charts for the spending donut. SwiftUI sheets that snap to the right detents. SF Symbols for every category. It feels like part of your phone, not a web page in a wrapper. WHAT'S INSIDE • Wallet balance, monthly spent, monthly remaining — three numbers, one glance • Quick-add expenses with category chips • Spending breakdown by category (today / week / month / custom range) • Monthly limits with overspend tracking • History with category filters • Opening balance to start from your real cash on day one • Automatic currency detection from your device locale WHAT IT ISN'T (BY DESIGN) • No bank account sync — your credentials never leave your bank • No multi-currency — one currency per device, kept simple • No "smart" categorization, no AI — you decide where things go Requires iPhone with iOS 18 or later.
