Offline & languages

Works fully offline

Log spending on a plane, in a tunnel, or with data off — the coach and the tax math still run.

  • Logging, budgets, and the AI coach all run without a network connection.
  • No server to be down, no sync to wait on.
  • The one exception: opt-in Cloud AI, which needs a connection when you choose to use it.

Localised in 25 languages

Currency, tax rules, and wording follow your locale automatically.

Fainto's Add expense screen: 42.18 zł entered above Your usual category chips for Food, Entertainment, Transport, Utilities, Education and Other (selected), an expanded All categories list with Housing and Health, a Save expense button and the number keypad.

Fast entry

Add an expense in seconds

Type the amount, tap a category, save. No menus to hunt through.

  • Amount-first entry — the keypad opens with the number, not a form.
  • One-tap category chips — Food, Entertainment, Transport, Utilities, Education, Other.
  • Note, date, and account default to sensible values — today, your main account.
  • Save with a single tap.
