Will your money last the month? Creso answers on the first screen: what you have, what's still due and how fast you're spending — so you know what's left before you spend it. No bank to connect, no account to create, no ads. Answer two questions and you're already logging your first coffee. FREE — AND NOT A TRIAL • Log expenses, income and transfers in two taps • Budgets that show what's LEFT, not what you've spent • End-of-month forecast: what you have, plus what's due, minus how fast you spend • Fixed costs, found automatically: everything that charges you every month, totalled by the year, with price rises flagged. $13.99 a month is invisible; $167.88 a year is a decision • Net worth across every account, debts included • Debts both ways: what you owe and what you're owed — even the ones you only jot down as a reminder. Split a bill any number of ways in one tap • Savings, mortgage and loan calculators, with 40 years of real market returns to test your assumptions • Import a CSV, or paste your bank statement straight from a PDF or an email • Receipt photos, and four themes — including true AMOLED black and Glass • A full backup you can export and keep — always free. If you ever leave, you leave with everything CRESO PRO • Investment tracking, with your real return — overall and year by year • Accounts in other currencies, with daily exchange rates • A one-page monthly PDF report for your accountant • Your whole year told in plain sentences, and a forecast to December • Shared goals that several people fill from their own phones • Automatic backups, Face ID lock, export to Excel and CSV • Custom icons and colors • Unlimited budgets, goals, scheduled payments, accounts and categories Monthly or yearly. Cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. PRIVACY, PLAINLY No account and no servers: your ledger is a file on your phone, and the app sends nothing about you. It makes two optional connections: it downloads the European Central Bank's public exchange-rate table if you hold another currency and — only if you add your own market-data key — it fetches quotes straight from that provider. Both can be turned off. No ads. Not in the free plan, not ever. Made in Providence by economists, investors and mathematicians.
