Basil: Budget & Spend Tracker

Basil features a stunning aesthetic and is powered by secure, on-device AI, automating the tedious parts of budgeting so you can focus on where your money goes, not how you record it. Now with Siri AI, an on-device chat assistant, and a refreshed experience for iOS 27.

Whether you're paying with Apple Pay, sending money via Venmo, PayPal, PayNow, PayLah!, GrabPay, ShopeePay and more, or just asking Siri, Basil captures it all instantly without you lifting a finger.

Why You'll Love Basil:
