Expensed is a private expense tracker that works offline, with no account required. Record expenses and income, organize your accounts and categories, and see where your money goes. Add transactions manually, scan a receipt, or import an image or PDF. On supported devices, Expensed can use an on-device AI model to read the receipt and prepare a transaction for you to review. Set up the model once, and receipt processing stays on your device. Log Apple Pay purchases automatically with a Shortcuts automation. There's no bank login: Expensed saves the purchase and processes it the next time you open the app. Ask Emma about your spending, like "Where did I spend most this month?" She answers on your device and links to the transactions behind each answer. Features include: • Weekly and monthly budgets • Spending breakdowns and period comparisons • One-off bill splitting and groups • Recurring transactions • Multiple accounts and currencies • Receipt and document attachments • CSV import and export • English and Spanish Your financial records stay on your device. There are no ads, analytics, or accounts to sign up for. Some optional features require an internet connection, including AI model setup, exchange rates, purchases, and cloud backup.

Money for two, without the fight. duofi is the app made for couples. Split bills in proportion to each income, hit goals together, and stop arguing about money. No spreadsheet, no hassle. Money is one of the things couples argue about most. It is rarely about the amount — it is the feeling that the split is unfair, and having no single place where both of you see the same thing. SPLIT BY INCOME Whoever earns more covers proportionally more. Math instead of resentment. You can also go 50/50 or set it on the slider, whatever fits the two of you. GOALS TOGETHER A trip, an apartment, a wedding. Every contribution visible, progress in real time — you can see who is pulling and celebrate together. YOURS, MINE, OURS Each of you keeps personal spending private while sharing the household bills. Not everything has to belong to everyone. GENUINELY FAST Logging an expense takes 5 seconds. That is why you will not drop it after two weeks, the way the spreadsheet always goes. THE MONTH AT A GLANCE Comparisons, top categories and savings rate. No need to open a spreadsheet to find out where the money went. REAL PRIVACY No access to your bank account, no invasive collection. The two of you choose what to show each other.
