Features

A complete money toolkit.
Still entirely yours.

From detailed transactions to safe-to-spend planning and a private monthly review, Sumstead turns everyday tracking into a clearer view of what comes next.

The latest additions

Built for the decisions
between transactions.

The newest tools work together: scheduled activity informs your safe-to-spend estimate, richer records improve your reports, and automation handles the repetitive parts.

Safe to spend

Start with the balances you include, then reserve upcoming bills, goal contributions, and remaining budget commitments to estimate what is available.

Upcoming activity

Look ahead to scheduled income, expenses, subscriptions, and transfers. Recurring items can post automatically or wait for your approval.

Splits, tags & matches

Allocate a purchase across categories, organize it with tags, and connect refunds back to the original spending for cleaner totals.

Account reconciliation

Work through a statement, mark matching activity as cleared, and finish with a visible adjustment only when the recorded balance needs one.

Premium

Rules & templates

Apply repeatable actions from transaction conditions and reuse complete budget setups instead of rebuilding them month by month.

Monthly reviews

Revisit income, spending, category changes, budgets, goals, subscriptions, and net-worth movement in a durable month-end summary.

Track

Everyday money,
modeled correctly.

Sumstead is more than a spending list. Its balanced ledger and exact minor-unit math keep transfers, splits, refunds, opening balances, and account totals consistent.

Four transaction types

Record expenses, earned money, refunds, and transfers with the right behavior for each.

Flexible splits

Divide one transaction across multiple categories while preserving the exact total.

#

Tags that travel

Add reusable tags, then keep them through search, CSV transfer, encrypted backup, and optional iCloud Sync.

Flexible accounts

Track cash, checking, savings, credit, asset, and liability accounts in one base currency.

Statement reconciliation

Clear activity against a real statement and keep any balancing adjustment explicit in the ledger.

Find anything

Search and filter locally by account, category, tag, merchant, date, and transaction type.

Plan

Forward-looking,
not restrictive.

Build a plan that changes with real life. The free core covers everyday budgets and upcoming context; Premium adds deeper automation and reusable planning.

Safe-to-spend estimate

Understand what remains after the commitments already represented in your own plan.

Upcoming commitments

See scheduled paychecks, bills, subscriptions, transfers, and goal contributions before they arrive.

Budgets

Set overall or category budgets and follow clear remaining and progress views.

Premium

Budget templates

Save a complete group of category limits and apply it again when a new budget period begins.

Premium

Recurring with control

Schedule repeating activity, choose automatic or approval-first creation, catch up missed dates, and use local reminders.

Premium

Goals that make a plan

Track progress from a real account balance and schedule the monthly transfer needed to meet a target date.

Automate

Teach the routine.
Keep the final say.

Automation stays understandable and local. You can see what a rule will do, review approval-first activity, and change or disable the setup whenever you want.

Premium

Transaction rules

Match merchant, amount, account, or transaction type, then apply categories, accounts, normalized merchant names, or tags.

Premium

Merchant suggestions

Turn familiar merchant names into on-device category suggestions that remain easy to review and change.

Your home, your order

Reorder or hide home cards for safe to spend, upcoming activity, goals, monthly summaries, accounts, budgets, and recent entries.

Understand

Insight that never
needs to upload.

Cash-flow summaries, month-end reviews, category breakdowns, trends, and comparisons are calculated locally from your own device.

Cash flow

Compare earned and spent, then see net change and daily averages for the selected period.

Top categories

See where spending concentrates without sending merchant or transaction data away.

Monthly reviews

Keep a month-by-month record of cash flow, category changes, budgets, goals, subscriptions, and net-worth movement.

Premium

Spending signals

Spot unusual category pace, rising subscriptions, and possible low balances from patterns calculated on device.

Premium

Merchant patterns

See where repeated purchases add up and open the underlying activity when you want the detail.

Premium

Advanced reports

Use longer and custom periods, deeper history, comparisons, and locally generated PDF reports.

Keep & protect

Receipts, security,
and a way out.

Your records are useful only if they remain accessible on your terms. Sumstead protects local data, lets you hide especially sensitive accounts, and keeps transfer tools available.

On-device receipt OCR

Capture documents or import photos, then confirm merchant, date, total, tax, account, and category before saving.

Premium

Protected accounts

Keep selected accounts out of totals, forecasts, reviews, widgets, exports, search, and shortcuts until you reveal them for the session.

Native security

Use device-owner authentication, privacy curtains, and protected storage for sensitive actions and files.

Portable for everyone

CSV import and export plus password-protected encrypted backup and restore remain part of the free core.

Premium

Optional private sync

Choose encrypted iCloud Sync for your own Apple devices. It stays off until you enable it.

Shortcuts & quick actions

Add transactions and open key views from supported Apple system surfaces without a Sumstead account.

No account required
