Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tipid?+

Tipid is an iOS budgeting app with on-device AI. Track expenses, manage budgets, set savings goals, and get personalized spending insights — all without your data ever leaving your device.

How does the AI work?+

Tipid uses Apple’s Foundation Models (Apple Intelligence) to categorize transactions, parse natural language input, polish voice transcriptions, and generate spending insights. Everything runs on your iPhone — no internet, no cloud, no servers. AI features require iOS 26 or later on a supported device. Tipid works fully without AI too — you just enter categories manually.

Is my financial data private?+

Completely. Tipid stores everything on your device. There are no accounts, no cloud sync, no bank sync, and no servers. Your financial data never leaves your phone.

Do I need to connect my bank account?+

No. Tipid never asks for bank credentials. You enter transactions manually or by speaking natural language like “coffee 150 starbucks” — the AI handles the rest.

Do I need an internet connection?+

No. Tipid works entirely offline. All features — including AI categorization and insights (when available) — run on your device with no internet required.

What devices are supported?+

Tipid runs on any iPhone with iOS 17 or later. AI-powered features (smart categorization, spending insights, voice polish, receipt parsing) require iOS 26 on a device that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or newer). The core app — expense tracking, budgets, goals, accounts, exports — works on all supported iPhones. An optional Apple Watch companion app is also available.

How much does it cost?+

Tipid is completely free. You get unlimited transactions, all AI features, receipt scanning, export, and more — no in-app purchases, no subscriptions.

Why is it free?+

Because AI runs on your device (zero server cost to us) and there’s no cloud infrastructure to maintain. No servers means no reason to charge you.

Can I export my data?+

Yes. You can export all transactions as CSV or JSON, and generate PDF income & expense statements for any period. Your data is yours.

What currencies are supported?+

Tipid supports 18+ currencies including PHP, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, SGD, and more. You can set different currencies per account.
