What does Wallet Diary do?
A simple, fast expense log — speak or type a natural sentence like
"120 for a latte at Starbucks" and it fills in the item, provider, and
cost for you to review. You can also just type each field by hand, add
a receipt photo, tag a payment method, and set monthly budgets.
Does this app send my data anywhere?
No. Every expense, receipt photo, and setting stays on your device.
Voice-to-text and receipt scanning both happen entirely on-device using
Apple's own Speech and Vision frameworks — nothing is ever sent to us
or to any third party. See the
Privacy Policy
for the full details.
What's free, and what costs money?
Logging expenses, Quick Add, receipt photos, budgets, stats, multi-currency,
and the home screen widget are all free with no limits. The only paid
feature is CSV Export (Settings → Export All Expenses) — a one-time,
$3.99 purchase that's yours forever, not a subscription.
I bought CSV Export but it's not showing as unlocked.
Open Settings and tap Restore Purchases near the bottom of the Data
section. As long as you're signed in with the same Apple ID you
originally purchased with, this restores it immediately at no extra
charge — this also covers a reinstall or a new device.
Does the app work offline?
Yes, completely. Logging, voice capture, receipt scanning, budgets, and
stats all work with no internet connection. The only feature that needs
a connection is refreshing currency exchange rates, and the app falls
back to the last rates it has if you're offline.
Is my data backed up anywhere?
Your data lives entirely on your device — there's no account or cloud
sync. Use Settings → Export All Expenses (CSV) to save a copy of
everything you've logged, which you can keep somewhere safe or move to
a new device by hand.
How do I delete my data?
Deleting the app from your device permanently removes everything,
including the widget's shared copy. There's no separate account to
delete since none exists.
