Your spending never leaves your iPhone. No account, no server, no sign-up β€” just the fastest way to see where your money goes. Tappel is a private spending tracker built deep into iOS. Log an expense in two seconds from Siri, the Action Button, a widget, or an NFC tag β€” or wire an Apple Pay automation and let purchases log themselves. Point the camera at a paper receipt and the total, the shop and the date fill themselves in. WHY TAPPEL β€’ Private by architecture β€” everything stays on your device and your own iCloud. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect. β€’ Two-second capture β€” Siri, the Action Button, widgets, NFC and App Intents. β€’ Pay once, own it forever β€” the personal app has no subscription. Subscription fatigue is why Tappel exists. FEATURES β€’ Receipt scanning β€” read on your phone; the photo is never saved or sent β€’ Every currency β€” European Central Bank rates where it publishes them, a daily market rate for the rest, cached on-device β€’ Calm monthly budgets β€” over budget reads in ink, never red β€’ Recurring radar spots subscriptions before they surprise you β€’ Insights β€” category breakdown, six-month trend, top merchants β€’ Face ID lock β€’ Custom categories β€” presets or your own β€’ Export as CSV or JSON, import from CSV, any time β€’ Family budget β€” share one limit, or none; each member uses their own Lifetime; individual purchases stay private β€’ iCloud sync between your iPhones β€’ Tappel Business, for companies in Poland β€” invoices sent to and downloaded from KSeF, costs, a monthly summary and a package for your accountant; three documents free No bank login. No ads. No tracking. Just your money, quietly tracked. SUBSCRIPTION Tappel Business is an optional auto-renewable subscription, sold in Poland: 19.99 PLN a month or 149 PLN a year, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

About

Cupr

Read full description

Cupr is a fast, private expense tracker for everyday payments. Remember what you spent without setting up budgets, connecting a bank account, or filling out a form. Enter an amount and save. Add a description, category, or date when useful β€” or leave a payment Uncategorized and organize it later. You can also track income if you want, with separate categories. Turning income tracking off hides those entries without deleting them. On iPhone Duo, remember payments in seconds on the outer display. Open up for recent entries and Insights with more room to breathe. Capture now. Take a closer look later. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Record expenses in seconds on iPhone and iPad - Add income alongside expenses when it suits you - Customize categories with familiar symbols - Automatically assign categories using your own description rules with Cupr Pro - Automatically convert foreign payments into your default currency - Set up recurring expenses and income - Schedule future payments and see the next 30 days in Coming Up - Explore spending and income with weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly Insights - Search your complete History, including notes, and see matching payment counts and totals - Open payments from an Insights category breakdown directly in History - Use a full iPad layout with recent entries, side-by-side History, and multi-column Insights - Set up Apple Pay automation in Shortcuts on iPhone, or track an expense with Siri, Spotlight, or Shortcuts - Quickly record expenses and income on Apple Watch - Get optional reminders when Uncategorized payments are waiting - Export your expenses and income separately as CSV for free CATEGORIES. TAKEN CARE OF. With Cupr Pro, create rules for words and phrases in your payment descriptions, or pick from Cupr’s rule suggestions. The matching category is selected as you type. New Apple Pay payments and CSV imports are categorized when a rule matches. In Categorize Later, review and confirm several matching assignments at once. Your manual choice always comes first. EVERY CURRENCY. ONE CLEARER PICTURE. Cupr converts foreign payments into your default currency using historical reference rates β€” with or without Pro. Every original amount and currency stays intact. Insights, widgets, and Apple Watch use available conversions for a combined overview. Prefer to keep currencies separate? Turn conversion off in Settings, and totals stay separate by currency. CUPR PRO One purchase, lasting access: Auto Categorization, expanded Insights and sharing, unlimited recurring payments, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a Control Center control, and Universal CSV Import. Tracking, History, categories, currency conversion, and CSV export remain available without Pro. YOUR PAYMENTS, YOUR DATA Cupr requires no account or bank connection. Payments are stored on your devices and, when available, synced through your private iCloud database. SUPPORTED CURRENCIES EUR, USD, GBP, JPY, CHF, CNY, CAD, AUD, HKD, SGD, SEK, DKK, PLN, CZK, HUF, RON, NOK, ISK, NZD, INR, KRW, TRY, UAH, AED, BRL, MXN, ZAR. WHY CUPR The name comes from Cu, the chemical symbol for copper β€” a metal associated with money for centuries. Cupr brings that idea into the digital age: a simple place to remember your payments and understand your spending. Remember your payments. Understand your money.
