Download now and keep Simple Finance free for life. Simple Finance 3.0 is a ground-up redesign: budgets, net worth, investments and a full retirement plan in one calm place. No account to create, no bank login. Your data lives on your devices and in your own iCloud. No tracking, no analytics, nothing sold. Most finance apps start by asking for your bank password. This one doesn't. NEW IN 3.0 • An all-new look on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch • Fin, a private money assistant that runs on your device. Ask how the month is going and it answers from your real numbers. What you ask Fin never leaves your device. • Money, together: share a budget with your partner, talk about a purchase right next to it, and see who paid for what • Log it in seconds: scan a receipt, type a sentence, or just say it • Goals you can see: a photo, a target date and progress at a glance BUDGETS THAT FIT YOUR ACTUAL MONTH • Rings or bars, monthly or annual, with rollover and per-month overrides • Fast entry — scan a receipt, split a transaction, and let recurring bills post themselves • Cover an overspend from another category in one tap, and keep the history of it • A spend curve that knows rent lands on the 1st, so "over pace" means something • Import from a spreadsheet, CSV or OFX/QFX — or just copy the rows and paste SHARE WITH YOUR PARTNER, FAMILY AND FRIENDS • Partner: full two-way sync — you both see and edit the same accounts, transactions, budgets and goals • Family: a read-only summary you control per person — net worth, income, accounts, investments, goals, bills, a six-month trend, or only the categories you pick • Friends: compare just the numbers you choose — savings rate, budget used, no-spend days, or who has the lowest utility bill • Keep anything private: a category, an account, a goal, a single transaction • It all runs through your own iCloud. Nothing is ever on our servers. NET WORTH, TRACKED PROPERLY • Accounts, investments, crypto, vehicles, real estate and mortgages in one number • History you can scrub, asset allocation, and year-over-year comparisons STOCKS AND CRYPTO • Live prices and charts you can scrub, from one day to all time, with key statistics and dividends • Tax lots, cost basis, dividends, and a watchlist for what you don't own yet • See your portfolio against the S&P 500, the Dow and the NASDAQ PLAN YOUR RETIREMENT — BUILT IN A private, full-featured retirement planner. No spreadsheet, no advisor login. • Will your money last for life? See your odds across 500 market simulations and a century of real history — 1929, 1966, 2000 and every year since. • Find your earliest safe retirement age, then model Social Security timing, Roth conversions, RMDs, pensions, rental income, healthcare and one-time life events. • Plan as a couple, kept separate until you combine finances. • Year-by-year projections in today's dollars, plus a multi-page report you can share. ON EVERY DEVICE YOU OWN iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and a real native Mac app — not a phone app in a window. Your own iCloud keeps them in step, with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets and a watch complication. STUCK? ASK. A help center with hundreds of answers, and a way to reach a real person without leaving the app. Replies come back inside the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No sign-up, no bank linking, no analytics, no third-party SDKs • Face ID app lock, blur-on-demand, and an app-switcher privacy shield • Demo Mode: show the app to anyone with sample data — your real finances stay hidden • Full JSON backups you own, plus optional weekly iCloud Drive auto-backup RUN A BUSINESS TOO? Clients, jobs, estimates and invoices, a work timer, mileage, crew hours and a Schedule C summary at tax time — kept completely apart from your personal money, with one switch to change which you're looking at. Simple Finance doesn't track you, and never sells or shares your data. See our privacy policy — it's short, because there's so little to disclose.
