Take control of your spending without handing your financial life to a company. Expenderino keeps every transaction on your device and in your own private iCloud — no accounts, no ads, no trackers, and no server that stores your data. EFFORTLESS TRACKING - Apple Pay purchases log themselves. Set up a quick Shortcuts automation once, and every payment is recorded automatically — optionally tagged with where it happened. - Import from any bank: camt.053/.052, MT940, OFX/QFX, CSV and PDF. Map any generic CSV in seconds. Duplicates are detected and shown side by side, so you review before merging. SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES - A clean dashboard with your total spending and a category breakdown. - Weekly and monthly statistics with trends, projections, and per-category analysis. - Home Screen widgets: a configurable spending widget (today / this week / this month, with a projection and budget bar) and your budgets at a glance. STAY ON TRACK - Set monthly budgets per category or tag and see exactly what's left to spend. - Smart categories organize new transactions automatically, plus tags for anything that cuts across them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Your data lives on your device and syncs only through your own iCloud — the developer cannot see it. - No analytics, no advertising, no third-party trackers, no sign-up. - Lock the app behind Face ID. - Optional AI category suggestions send only merchant and category names (never amounts, dates, or account details) and are off by default. Built for people who want to understand their money — not be tracked by it.
