With recent updates, it now supports an iOS app, integrates with over 157 banks across 24 countries, and allows users to import PDF statements, making expense tracking more versatile. Its open-source nature under the AGPL license and free availability on F-Droid make it an attractive choice for privacy-conscious users seeking transparency and control. The app leverages a faster, on-device Qwen AI model, enhancing its ability to interpret transaction data without needing cloud-based services.
