Local Budget: Statement Scan

Local Budget reads credit card statements on your iPhone and builds a budget from them. Input is the PDF or CSV your card issuer provides, or Apple Card through Apple Wallet. There is no account, no bank login and no server: parsing, storage and analysis all run on the device, and statement import works offline.
INPUT
• PDF statements, including scanned paper statements saved as PDF, read with on device text recognition
• CSV exports. Column layouts are detected and remembered per card
• Password protected PDFs
• Import from the Statements tab, or the Share sheet in Files, Safari and Mail
• Duplicate transactions are skipped if you import the same statement twice
• Card payments are detected and left unticked, so paying the bill isn't counted as money in
• The parsed total can be checked against the statement's printed total

APPLE CARD (US)
• Reads booked Apple Card transactions through Apple Wallet, with your permission
• Syncs each time the app opens. Pending transactions are added once they settle
• Apple Card only. Apple Cash and Savings are not read
• Card payments are not stored. Refunds and statement credits are
• Dates already covered by an imported Apple Card statement are not added again
• Revoke access in Settings and the app deletes its Apple Card data

CATEGORIES
• One category per transaction. Labels are separate, any number per transaction, for grouping across categories such as a trip or a project
• New transactions are categorized in this order: your rules, your past choices for that merchant, a built in list of over 250 common merchants, then Apple Card's merchant type. No match means no category
• The import preview shows every category before anything is saved. Change any of them, or undo after
• A category you set is never overwritten
• Categorize by Merchant groups uncategorized spending by merchant, largest first. One choice covers every transaction from that merchant and adds a rule for future imports
• When nothing else knows a merchant, a word in its name (restaurant, parking, pharmacy) gives a suggestion. Suggestions from the name are never applied without a tap

ANALYSIS
• Home: the latest month's total, categories and merchants, compared with the previous month and your average
• Spending by day, week, month or year over a range you choose
• Saved filters, compared over time
• Category, merchant and budget figures open the transactions behind them
• Home screen widget

BUDGETS AND BILLS
• Monthly budgets by category or label, with optional rollover
• Savings goals with the monthly amount needed
• Recurring charges detected from your history, with reminders before the due date
• Income, net worth and 17 currencies

DATA AND SECURITY
• Optional Face ID or Touch ID lock. No ads, no analytics, no tracking
• Backups are encrypted with 256 bit AES (GCM). The key is derived from your password with PBKDF2 at 210,000 iterations and a new random salt for every file. Passwords are at least 12 characters
• The backup password is kept in iCloud Keychain, so a new iPhone opens your backups without typing it, or on this iPhone only. Your choice
• CSV export for spreadsheets (not encrypted), and delete all data in one step
