Talk to your money.
Speak it. It counts. It answers.
Say what you spent. Recounto logs the amount, merchant, category and date, then lets you correct it, or ask it questions, out loud.

Say it once.
The form is the friction. Remove it and the habit stays.
- 01
Speak the expense
“Uber 24 yesterday.” One purchase or five in a breath.
- 02
The sentence becomes fields
Amount, merchant, category, date, read on your iPhone, online or off.
- 03
Correct it by talking
“Actually it was 57.” The saved entry changes. Nothing to reopen.
See it run.
Five shipped behaviours, looping. Nothing here is a mockup.

Repeating
2 charges
Caught up 1 missed charge
Added once. Opening the app again won’t add it twice.
Tracking was never the hard part.
The typing was.
Without it
- A notes app with one line per coffee.
- A spreadsheet you open twice, then stop.
- A bank app that shows the total, never the reason.
With Recounto
- Say it once. It’s filed.
- Ask how much went on food and get a number.
- Budget, ledger and insight from the same entries.
Six ways in, one pipeline.
Voice first. Everything else shares the same parser.
Speak an expense
One sentence in, one entry out.
Type or paste
Same parser, typed or pasted.
Photograph a receipt
A photo becomes a candidate entry.
Attach a document
Routed to the right reader, not guessed.
Share from another app
Text or images via the Share Sheet.
Shake to record
Shake to open the recorder.
It reads, then checks itself.
The model extracts; rules decide.
Amount, merchant, category, date
Extracted, never retyped.
Currency kept honest
Each entry keeps its own currency.
Several in one breath
Two or five at once, split apart.
Merchants normalised
“STARBUCKS #4471” becomes Starbucks.
One question when it’s missing
Amount first, then it saves.
Auto-save when it’s sure
Confident parses save themselves.
Batch confirm as a group
One confirmation, one undo.
Ask before double-counting
Repeats are questioned, not counted twice.
Ask your own ledger.
Answered from your entries, or it says it can’t.
Answers from your ledger
Counted, never estimated.
Prompts you can actually answer
Built from data you have.
Affordability as arithmetic
The sum and what’s left, no verdict.
Ask by voice, log nothing
Questions don’t create expenses.
Remember a fact
“Rent is 1500”, recalled later.
Changing your mind is a sentence.
Always the entry you meant, always reversible.
Correct by speaking
“Actually it was 57.” Done.
Which entry did you mean
Ambiguity asks before it changes anything.
Delete by speaking
Resolves the target, confirms first.
Undo the last action
Save, edit or delete. Reversible.
Remembered corrections
Your spelling fixes stick.
The position, not a dashboard.
Numbers in the order you need them.
Budget and category limits
One figure, plus a cap per category.
One status rule
On track, near, over. One threshold.
Safe to spend per day
What’s left, divided by days remaining.
Month over month
This month against last, per category.
Ranked, with one insight
Biggest category first. One line, no charts.
Change by talking
“Make dining 400.”
A ledger you can search.
Every entry, and a way to act on it.
Browse and search
By day, filtered as you type.
Act on any entry
Edit or delete in place.
Recent entries
The last few, one tap away.
Today and this month
Both against the budget.
The subscriptions you already pay.
What leaves your account on a schedule.
Put a charge on a cadence
Mark it monthly; it’s projected.
Catch up exactly once
Missed occurrences add once.
See what’s coming
Projected, not pre-written.
Reminded the day before
Merchant and amount, a day early.
When the spending arrives as a file.
A receipt and a statement are different problems.
Receipt to transaction
Photo in, entry out.
Statement or invoice
Told apart before parsing.
CSV, row by row
Date, narration, amount, direction.
Checked, then you choose
Arithmetic reconciled, duplicates flagged, every row reviewed.
Protected documents
Unlocked for the session, never stored.
Not an app you have to open.
The same capture, started from the system.
Ask Siri what you spent
Same answers as the app.
Log through Siri
No app launch needed.
Shortcuts and system actions
Control Center, Action Button, Shortcuts.
Share Sheet
Text and images, same pipeline.
It leaves when you say so.
Export, back up, restore, erase, and how it behaves.
CSV export
The whole ledger, yours.
Archive and restore
Versioned backup; atomic restore.
Erase to first run
Back to a clean slate.
Daily digest
At the hour you pick.
Settings apply immediately
No relaunch.
Honest states
Every state named; notifications open what they name.
The difference, in a table.
| Capability | Recounto | Notes app | Spreadsheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Log by speaking | No | No | |
| Categories without typing | No | Manual | |
| Ask in plain language | No | No | |
| Budget and month-over-month | No | Formulas | |

Recorded and stored
Asked first.
Do I need to connect my bank?+
No. Recounto works from what you tell it: spoken, typed, photographed or imported.
What if my iPhone is older?+
Parsing still works. The app carries its own model, so it doesn’t depend on the newest iPhone.
Does it work offline?+
Yes. Parsing is on-device and the ledger is local, so the app works with no connection. Buying Pro needs the network once, because the App Store handles it.
Can it track my subscriptions?+
The ones you pay. Put a repeating charge on a cadence and get a reminder the day before.
Does Recounto have a subscription?+
Recording is free, forever: no count limit, no account, no ads. Recounto Pro adds depth — category budgets, trends, month-over-month, upcoming charges, PDF reports and unlimited Ask — as a subscription bought through the App Store at Apple's price for your region.
Can I bring in an existing statement?+
Yes, as CSV. Every row is reviewed, the arithmetic is checked, duplicates are flagged first.
Is my financial data private?+
Parsing is on-device. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is sold.
Just talk to your money.
Speak your next expense. It lands in the same ledger.
Free to use, no account needed, iPhone only.
