Juntu is the private, manual personal finance app for people who want awareness over automation. No bank syncing. No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Your money, on your terms, on your device. WHY JUNTU Most finance apps want access to your bank account, sell your data, or fill your screen with ads. Juntu does none of that. Everything you enter stays on your iPhone and syncs across your devices through your own private iCloud account — we can't see it, and we never will. Manual entry is intentional: writing down where your money goes makes you aware of it. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Expenses with categories and notes • Income, including recurring paychecks • Budgets per category • Subscriptions and recurring bills • Debts and split-bill records • Trips with multi-currency support • Custom trackers for anything else • Receipts, scanned with your camera KEY FEATURES • On-device receipt scanner — text recognition runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple's Vision framework • Sign in with Apple — no passwords, no email/password forms • App Lock with Face ID or Touch ID • Calendar view of every entry • Powerful search across all your data • Multi-currency support for travel and overseas spending (rates from a free public source — no personal data sent) • Export everything as CSV any time • Private iCloud sync across your own devices WHAT JUNTU WILL NEVER DO • Connect to your bank, Plaid, or any financial institution • Show you ads • Sell or share your data • Track you across apps or websites • Profile you for marketing • Send your data to a server we control WHO IT'S FOR • People who want financial awareness, not automation • Travelers tracking spend in multiple currencies • Friends splitting bills and shared trip expenses • Anyone tracking subscriptions before they balloon out of control • Anyone who prefers a clean, intentional tool over an all-in-one platform PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN Juntu does not operate a backend that stores your data. There is no Juntu server holding your expenses. Your data lives on your iPhone and in your own private iCloud container. Delete your account from Settings and everything is wiped — not "soft deleted," not "marked for removal," gone. GET STARTED Sign in with Apple, set a few categories, and start tracking. Most people find their patterns within a week and adjust within a month. That's the point.
