SpendLane is a fast, private budget and expense tracker. Everything stays on your device: no account, no sign-up, no cloud. ADD IN SECONDS - A purpose-built keypad, smart category suggestions that learn from you, receipt scanning that reads the amount, merchant and date, and a share/paste flow that turns a bank SMS into a filled form. SEE WHERE IT GOES - A home dashboard you arrange yourself, a spending calendar, monthly insights, cash-flow forecasts, and plain-language answers when you ask things like "how much did I spend on food last month". STAY ON TRACK - Budgets with alerts before you overshoot, savings goals, recurring bills with reminders, a monthly checklist that resets on your pay day, and net worth with assets, debts and money lent out. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Your data lives in a database on your phone. App Lock with Face ID, hidden amounts, encrypted receipts, and password-protected exports. The only optional network features are crash reports and exchange rates, both off until you turn them on. WORKS IN YOUR LANGUAGE - English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Chinese and Japanese, with full right-to-left support. Premium is available as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.
