About

Notch

Read full description

Notch is a fast, private, beautifully simple expense tracker for people who want to know exactly where their money goes — on your own, or shared with a partner, roommates, or friends. Start in seconds — no account, no sign-up wall. Log a transaction and it is saved instantly. Turn on optional cloud sync to keep every device in step, and it keeps working even with no signal. TRACK EVERY TRANSACTION • Log expenses and income in seconds, online or offline. • Rich categories — food, transport, shopping, entertainment, bills, salary and more. • Multiple accounts you create and track yourself — personal, shared, or per-project — no bank linking required. • Filter your history by category, type, and date range. SHARE AN ACCOUNT WITH YOUR PEOPLE • Create a shared account for a flat, a trip, a couple, or a project. • Invite people with a simple code — no address book access needed. • See how much each member has contributed and their share of the total. • A live activity feed shows new transactions from members as they are added. NEVER BE SURPRISED BY A SUBSCRIPTION • Keep every recurring charge — streaming, gym, software, insurance — in one place. • See your real monthly total instead of guessing. • Weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly billing cycles are all supported. UNDERSTAND YOUR SPENDING • A dashboard that answers "where did this month go?" at a glance. • Category breakdowns, spending trends over time, and month-to-month comparisons. • AI-generated insights that point out patterns you would otherwise miss. EXPORT ANYTHING • Export any date range to CSV, Excel, or PDF. • Choose exactly which columns to include. • Useful for taxes, reimbursements, or sharing with an accountant. ADD EXPENSES WITH YOUR VOICE • Say "Uber to the airport, 24 dollars yesterday" and the amount, merchant, category, and date are all filled in for you. • Optional offline AI mode runs the parsing entirely on your device, so nothing leaves your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your data lives on your device by default. • Cloud sync is optional and only runs when you turn it on. • Use the whole core app as a guest — no email required. • Available in English, Spanish, French, and Japanese. PREMIUM Premium unlocks shared accounts with cloud sync across devices, unlimited subscription tracking (free accounts track up to 3), voice entry, and the real-time shared activity feed.
