About

Tapp

Read full description

Money tracking that actually sticks. Tapp is the expense tracker built for people who quit every other expense tracker. No bank logins. No spreadsheets. No 12-step setup. Just you, your money, and two taps. โ€ข LOG IN LITERALLY TWO TAPS Set up Back Tap once (we show you how) and double-tapping the back of your iPhone opens the keypad instantly โ€” from anywhere. Type the amount, tap a category, done. Logging an expense takes less time than the purchase did. โ€ข STREAKS THAT KEEP YOU HONEST Log something every day and build your streak. Miss a day and it resets. Simple, slightly threatening, very effective. โ€ข SEE WHERE IT ALL WENT Charts that hit different: a donut of your spending by category, daily trends, and your top money drains โ€” over 7, 30, or 90 days. โ€ข BUDGETS WITHOUT THE GUILT Set a monthly limit per category. We'll keep score and tell you when you've cooked it โ€” next month is yours. โ€ข CATEGORIES THAT GET IT Coffee, Going Out, Gaming, Subscriptions, Beauty, Side Hustle โ€” emoji categories that match how you actually spend. โ€ข YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything lives on your phone. No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs. We literally cannot see your data. Export everything to CSV anytime. Works in any currency. Free. No subscription. No ads.

About

PennyTap Budget Tracker

Features
Read full description

PennyTap is a simple personal bookkeeping app for daily income, spending, bills, budgets, and monthly statistics. Record an expense or income in a few taps, choose a category and account, add a note, and keep each ledger organized. The overview shows your monthly balance, budget progress, recent bills, and category breakdowns so you can see where your money went without building a spreadsheet. Free features include quick entry, bill management, search and filters, custom categories, accounts, ledgers, monthly budgets, recurring bills, local JSON backup and restore, reminders, privacy lock, dark mode, and home screen widgets. PennyTap Pro adds CSV import, CSV export, and iCloud manual backup and restore. iCloud backup is a manual recovery tool, not automatic multi-device sync. PennyTap does not require an account. Your main ledger data is stored on your device with SwiftData, and the widget uses a small local App Group snapshot for monthly stats. Terms of use: https://pureinsight.co/apps/pennytap/terms
