Answers to the questions we hear most. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, email us — we usually reply within 24 hours.
Hold the mic button and speak naturally — “coffee four-fifty” or “Uber to airport thirty-eight dollars.” Apple’s on-device speech recognition transcribes your words. The transcript is sent to our AI parser to extract the amount, merchant, and category, and the parsed entry is saved on your device.
Tap the parsed card before saving and edit any field. Or save it, then tap the entry in History to correct it — including by re-speaking. Said “four fifty” but meant “fourteen fifty”? Two-second fix.
Your edits are saved to the expense entry (and synced if you’re signed in). The parser itself is a general-purpose model — it doesn’t learn from your individual usage. If a merchant or category is consistently wrong, leave us feedback and we’ll improve the prompt.
Whatever language your iOS device’s speech recognition supports for transcription. English (US, UK, AU) is best-tested for the parser. Other languages may transcribe accurately but parse less reliably.
Twelve: Food, Transport, Groceries, Shopping, Entertainment, Health, Bills, Subscriptions, Travel, Education, Personal, Other. The parser picks one automatically; tap to change.
Set a single monthly target in Settings > Monthly Budget (default $2000). The budget bar on Home fills as you spend. Expendy pings you at 75% and 90% — before the month surprises you.
Subscriptions, rent, gym, insurance — anything that repeats. Add it once with a schedule (weekly/monthly/yearly) and Expendy auto-logs it on schedule. Pro feature.
Yes — tap the + button to type an expense directly. Voice is the fast path, not the only path.
Optionally yes. Sign in with Apple (Settings > Sign In with Apple) and your expenses, budget, and recurring rules sync to our backend so they follow you across every device signed in with the same Apple ID. Signing in is optional — the App works fully without it.
Settings → Export Data. Generates a CSV with date, amount, merchant, category, and notes for every entry. Share via email, AirDrop, or save to Files. Pro feature.
If you’re signed in with Apple, just sign in on the new phone and your data follows. If you prefer not to sign in, export CSV on the old phone, then re-enter or import on the new one.
Local-only data: delete the App — zero residue. If you’re signed in for sync, use Settings > Delete Account to also wipe your cloud copy and authentication record on our server.
Unlimited voice entries, recurring expenses, advanced insights (donut chart, 7-day trend, top expenses), and CSV export. Free tier includes manual entry plus a daily voice quota.
Two options shown in-app at purchase — weekly or yearly — with a free trial for first-time subscribers. Cancel anytime via Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
Open Settings → Restore Purchases, or tap the same option on the paywall. You must be signed in to the same Apple ID that originally subscribed.
All purchases go through Apple. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We can’t process refunds directly.
Email us with your iOS version, app version (Settings → bottom of the page), and what happened. We usually reply within 24 hours.
