Small changes. Better flow.

Spenso now works with Siri. Say “Hey Siri, record an expense in Spenso” to add one expense or several, then confirm, review, or discard the result before anything is saved.

New to Spenso? A short introduction now lets you try quick capture without saving a practice expense, then explains Siri and privacy.

What changed

• Record one or several expenses with Siri
• Confirm, review, or discard them before saving
• Learn Spenso with a guided, unsaved practice expense
• Made quick capture saving simpler and more reliable
• Improved long expense feeds so older entries keep loading and the spinner stops at the end
• Preserved tag spelling and capitalization, including names like “FNAC” and “AppleTV”
• Enjoy smoother, more polished animations throughout the app

Monthly totals are more useful when you can follow them down to the details. You can now open any category in Overview to see every expense behind that total for the selected month, with dates close at hand and editing just a tap away.

Tags also have a proper home in Settings. Each space gets its own searchable collection, where you can add, rename, and remove tags without hunting through individual expenses. If a tag is already in use, Spenso clearly explains what will be affected before deleting it.

Quick capture feels calmer, too. Spenso keeps the activity indicator in the submit button while it checks your input, and only opens the processing screen when server AI is actually needed. Locally understood expenses move straight to review.

What changed

• Open a category from Overview to explore its expenses for that month
• See the month, expense dates, and a clean list designed for quick scanning
• Add, search, rename, and delete tags from the Space section in Settings
• Keep tag collections separate and relevant to each space
• See a clear system warning before removing a tag that is already in use
• Stay on the expense screen while quick capture checks input locally
• See the expense count and total together in the draft review header

You should always know what is happening after you send an expense. Quick capture now keeps your words in view while Spenso works, then gently makes room for the result when it is ready to review.

If something gets in the way, the same sheet explains what happened and gives you a clear next step. Your original input stays close at hand, so a weak connection or an uncertain result does not mean starting over.

What changed

• Follow your input through processing and into review in one focused, adaptive sheet
• Retry a failed capture in place, or return to your original wording to make a change
• Handle merchants that fit several categories more carefully instead of forcing a shaky guess
• Find the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and EULA together under Legal in Settings
• See clearer iCloud sync activity and a little more polish on the Full Access screen

Quick capture should save time, not turn a small misunderstanding into cleanup. This update gives you a chance to check what Spenso understood, make any changes, and then save with confidence.

I also rebuilt the subscriber sign-in and account experience, so it is clearer what you have access to and where to manage it.

What changed

• Review and edit captured expenses before they are saved
• Include a date or time in everyday wording and Spenso will carry it into the draft
• Feel clearer haptic feedback as a capture moves through processing and review
• Connect subscriber access securely with Sign in with Apple
• Manage your subscription, restore purchases, log out, or delete your Spenso account from Settings
• See your iCloud sync status and benefit from steadier expense loading and deletion

AI capture should be useful without making the rest of your expense history feel locked away. This update makes the free allowance easier to understand and keeps manual logging available after it runs out.

What changed

• Free access now includes 50 AI parsing requests for the lifetime of your account
• Every expense submitted through the quick input counts as one AI request
• When the allowance runs out, the input clearly links to Full Access
• The “+” button keeps manual expense entry available
• Full Access includes unlimited AI features, subject to fair use

Quick capture is only quick when the result is right. I’ve taught Spenso more of the names people actually use for everyday places, and made the fallback behaviour less surprising when it is not quite sure.

What changed

• Added more restaurants, coffee shops, grocers, transport, and everyday merchants
• Recognized more local names, spelling variations, and non-English text
• Made uncertain category guesses predictable and easy to correct
• Tucked long tag lists behind a small “more” count so they are easier to scan
• Added tests for more of the odd category cases

I don’t want you to keep teaching Spenso the same thing. When you organize an expense, the app now remembers a little more of that choice and can reuse it when a similar purchase turns up later.

What changed

• Saved expenses now teach Spenso which tags belong with a category
• Your category choice survives when AI-assisted parsing helps with an expense
• Tidied up the built-in categories and tags
• Made editing categories and choosing tags less fiddly

If something goes wrong, you should be able to tell me what happened and get on with your day. Spenso now adds the boring technical details to your message automatically, so I have a better chance of finding the problem without asking you five follow-up questions.

What changed

• Send me a support request straight from Settings
• Spenso includes the app version, device, iOS, and subscription details for you
• If a message cannot be sent, the error now tells you something useful
• Privacy and service terms are now one tap away
