See where your money actually goes — without sign-ups, bank logins, or handing over your identity. Spent is a minimal AI expense tracker that does the boring part for you. Say what you spent. Snap a receipt. Tap with Apple Pay. AI sorts it, your month adds up, and you close the app. That's the whole job. ANONYMOUS BY DESIGN No account. No identity. No external database. Your transactions live on your phone and sync only through your own private iCloud. Your money is nobody's business. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Spent includes a free trial (cancel anytime). After the trial ends, an active monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription is required to continue using the app. Full subscription details are listed below. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT → Just say it. Hit the mic or use Siri — "twelve bucks at Starbucks." Amount, merchant, category, done. → Snap a receipt. Photograph it or drop a screenshot from your banking app. AI reads every line item. → Tap, pay, tracked. Apple Pay purchases logged automatically via Shortcuts — no bank link, no credentials shared. → AI categorizes everything. Groceries, eating out, utilities, subscriptions — sorted the moment they land. Merchant logos included. → Budgets that keep up. One number for the month, or per-category limits and bills with live progress and no surprises. → Recurring & subscription tracking. Netflix, Spotify, rent — set them once and Spent handles the rest. → Share a wallet. Track a household, a couple, or a trip with live sync — fully private to the people in it. → Scan a statement. Drop a screenshot of your bank app, AI imports the transactions, you keep tracking. → Works offline-first. Manage your money anywhere, sync when you want. WHO IT'S FOR People who want a real budget planner and expense manager — without a 40-step onboarding, without surrendering bank credentials, and without becoming the product. Anonymous spending tracking that actually respects you. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Spent offers two auto-renewing subscription options: YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION — with free trial (cancel anytime) MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION — with free trial (cancel anytime) • Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. • The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. • You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Account Settings after purchase. • Any unused portion of the free trial will be forfeited if you purchase a subscription.
