Three lines we do not cross

  1. 01

    No account, nothing uploaded

    Nothing to sign up for. Your ledger only travels between your devices and your own iCloud, so there is nothing for us to see.

  2. 02

    Export is free forever

    The data is yours. Leaving Cenno will never cost money.

  3. 03

    No ads, no upsell, no red dots

    No splash screens, no financial products, no badge nagging you to open the app.

Fast to record, complete to read

Everything below is computed on the device, and most of it is free.

3 seconds per record

Cold launch lands on the keypad. Type an expression, 24+3.5, and press return. Templates save a record in one tap, and “Save & new” keeps the category for the next one.

  • 13 categories with sub-categories, 128 icons, all free
  • Receipt photos stay on the device
  • Search merchants, notes, tags and amount ranges instantly
seconds per record

Budgets that roll over

A monthly total, a budget per category, and a daily allowance that updates as you spend. Whatever you leave unspent carries into next month.

  • Overspending marked in cinnabar, with a suggestion for next month
  • The whole budget feature is free
Budgets that roll over

Net worth, no bank login

Balance is your starting number plus every record since. When reality drifts, “Reconcile” squares it up in one tap without touching history.

  • Credit limits, statement and due-date reminders
  • Refunds and reimbursements offset the expense instead of counting as income
Net worth, no bank login

Skip a takeaway, feed the piggy bank

Order a pretend takeaway, log what you saved by not ordering, and collect a check-in. Zero real money moves: no charge, no transfer, no account touched.

  • Streaks and nine badges, unlocked the moment you earn them
  • The share card carries days and badges only, never an amount

iPad as an equal, iCloud sync for free

The same ledger on iPhone and iPad, carried by your own iCloud rather than a server of ours. Record on both and the two merge cleanly. Sync is off by default and can be turned off at any time; Pro is bought once and works on both.

Questions

Is it really free?

The free tier is the complete ledger, with no cap on records and no time limit. Pro is an optional set of six features.

Where is my data?

In a local file on your device with full file protection, and, if you turn sync on, in your own iCloud. We run no server that could hold it.

What happens when I change phones?

Turn on iCloud sync, or export a backup from Settings and restore it on the new device. The backup file embeds receipt photos too.

Can I import bank statements?

Yes, with Pro. Export a CSV from your bank, Alipay or WeChat Pay and open it in Cenno. Parsing happens entirely on the device.

I paid for version 1.0. Do I pay again?

No. Open 2.0 and it recognises the original purchase; Pro lifetime is yours.

Three seconds. No account.

Free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later.
