Finolio

About this app

The personal finance app built for one person — you. Finolio tracks every expense, budget, and receipt photo entirely on your devices and in your own private iCloud. No servers. No user accounts. No analytics. We can't read your data because we don't have any way to. The whole app is yours.

Ever. • No subscription gate on core features. • No third-party analytics SDKs. • No "data collected to improve our service." • No bank login, no aggregator, no external account.

Finolio 2.1 is our biggest speed pass yet — plus clearer, more transparent guidance throughout the app. FASTER EVERYWHERE • The Dashboard, Statistics, and your expense list open and update noticeably faster. • Search is now instant, even with years of history — results narrow as you type. • Charts, cards, and transitions settle in a snap instead of drifting in. • The animated backdrop no longer runs continuously and fully respects Reduce Motion, so Finolio sips far less battery. • Finolio launches quicker and stays fast no matter how much history you've built up. CLEARER, MORE TRANSPARENT • New one-time Terms of Use acceptance on first launch — viewable anytime in Settings. • Coach now notes its suggestions are general budgeting information, not financial advice. • Scanned receipts remind you to double-check amounts before saving. • Spending forecasts are clearly labeled as projections, not guaranteed numbers.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
