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 ā 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 ā 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 ā 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 ā including true AMOLED black and Glass ⢠A full backup you can export and keep ā always free.

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 ā only if you add your own market-data key ā 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.
