A beautiful expense tracker for iPhone that reads your bank's SMS alerts. No bank linking. No accounts. No subscription. Just iPhone, iCloud, and you.
When your bank sends a transaction alert, SpendLens turns it into a logged expense. Set it up once with a Shortcuts automation โ no bank login, no account linking, no aggregator holding your credentials. Bank sends push notifications instead of SMS? Screenshot it and share to SpendLens; same result.
Built for how banks in the UAE, Oman, Saudi, and across the GCC actually work. Auto-capture is off until you switch it on โ here's exactly what happens to the text.
Set up a Personal Automation in Apple's Shortcuts app, pointed at your bank's sender. SpendLens walks you through it.
A transaction alert arrives. The amount, merchant, date, and currency are pulled out and lined up in your Expenses timeline.
Tap โ to confirm โ or swipe it away. Nothing is logged without your say-so.
Built for people who want to know where their money goes โ without becoming a product themselves.
Two taps from home screen to logged expense. Quick-add widget, Action Button, or Siri โ your call.
Track AED, INR, USD, GBP โ all together. Exchange rates refresh daily and cache for offline use.
Snap a receipt โ Apple's Vision framework reads the total, merchant, and date. Entirely on your device.
Plain words, not just charts: how this month is pacing, whether you're tracking above or below your usual, and where the money actually went.
See category-by-category month-over-month changes with sparklines. Spot the spending creep early.
Small, medium, and large on the home screen, plus two lock screen widgets. Today's spend, monthly total, or recent activity โ at a glance.
"Hey Siri, log 45 dirhams for coffee." Done. Built on App Intents โ works with the Action Button too.
CSV for spreadsheets. PDF reports for accountants. Your data is always yours to take with you.
Sync across iPhone and iPad through your own private iCloud container. We can't see it โ and with Advanced Data Protection on, neither can Apple.
No accounts. No analytics SDKs. No ads. No bank credentials โ ever. Everything you log lives on your iPhone, with sync through your own private iCloud container.
One feature is different, and we'd rather tell you than bury it: Smart Parsing, which reads your bank's SMS alerts and screenshots, sends that text out to be parsed and sends it straight back. It's off until you turn it on, and our endpoint never writes it to a log or a database. How Smart Parsing works โ
Pay once, own forever. Every future update included. The way apps used to be.
Free to try with core expense tracking โ and bank SMS auto-capture โ included.
