About Qalta

Qalta is an expense and budget tracker for iPhone aimed at people who dislike typing. You say a purchase out loud, scan a receipt, bill or bank statement, or add it manually, and the app fills in the amount, category and any recurring schedule, for example a coffee purchase or a monthly subscription.

Accounts can be created in any currency, with live exchange rates for a combined balance. Budgets can be set by category or account, and insights and analytics show spending trends, subscription totals and category breakdowns. Logging is also possible without opening the app, through a Home Screen widget, Siri Shortcuts, Back Tap, the Action Button or Apple Pay automations. Search, filters and CSV export are included, and financial data stays on the device with optional iCloud backup and no ads.
