Anti is the anti-finance finance app: a minimal, friendly expense tracker for people who want to understand their spending without the heaviness of traditional finance apps. Just type what happened — “coffee 82”, “uber 143”, “rent 1500” — and Anti turns it into a clean expense with a category, amount, and date. You can also ask simple questions in plain language: “How much did I spend this week?” “What were my biggest expenses?” “How much did I spend on food?” “Show my recent expenses.” Anti helps you stay aware of your money without connecting your bank, building complex budgets, or staring at overwhelming dashboards. Features: • Log expenses in seconds with natural text • Ask questions about your spending • See weekly, monthly, and yearly summaries • Review spending by category • View recent expenses • Edit or undo logged expenses • Use Quick Log with Siri or Back Tap • Get simple weekly recaps • No bank syncing or account linking required Anti is designed to feel fast, calm, and easy to use every day. It is not a budgeting spreadsheet, a bank dashboard, or a finance command center. It is a lighter way to capture spending, understand patterns, and build awareness without turning money into a chore. Track fast. Ask naturally. Understand your spending without the noise.
