Common questions

Is Walti free?

Yes. Walti is free to download and use for logging expenses, budgets, history, trends, widgets and backups, with three recurring expenses and three receipt scans. Walti Premium is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited receipt scanning and recurring expenses, per-category budgets, your own categories and payment methods, full analytics, Excel and CSV export, and every accent theme. There is no subscription.

How does receipt scanning work?

In a new expense, tap the scan button and photograph a receipt or pick one from Photos. Walti reads it on your device and fills in the amount, shop, date, category and payment method for you to check before saving; the photo is never uploaded or kept. Scanning needs an iPhone or iPad with Apple Intelligence turned on, and Walti set to a language Apple Intelligence supports.

Do I need an account?

No. There’s no sign-up, no login and no cloud sync. Open the app and start logging — Walti works fully offline.

Does Walti connect to my bank?

No. Walti never asks for bank logins and doesn’t use a third-party aggregator. You log expenses yourself in a couple of seconds, which keeps your data private and your records accurate. How that works.

Where is my data stored?

Only on your iPhone. Walti has no servers, no analytics SDKs and no ad trackers, and its App Store privacy label reads “Data Not Collected”.

How do I back up or move my expenses?

Go to Settings › Data › Export Backup to save a JSON file with everything in Walti. Open it with Import Backup on the same or another device — only what’s missing is added, nothing is overwritten or removed.

How do I restore my Premium purchase?

Open Settings › Upgrade to Premium and tap Restore purchase, signed in with the same Apple Account you used to buy it.

I’m not getting the daily reminder

Check iOS Settings › Notifications › Walti and make sure notifications are allowed; a Focus mode can also hold them back. The reminder only arrives on days you haven’t logged anything yet.

Does Walti track subscriptions and bills?

Yes. Set up expenses that repeat every week, every two weeks, every month or every year — rent, bills, subscriptions — and give fixed-term ones, like instalments, an end date. Walti shows what is due and waits for your confirmation before adding anything to your history.

Can I use my own currency?

Yes. Pick any currency in Settings and every amount, budget and widget uses it. No conversion is applied — only the symbol changes.

Does Walti work on iPad?

Yes, on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later. There’s no sync, so each device keeps its own records — use a backup file to copy them across.

Can I start an expense from the Lock Screen?

Yes, on iOS 18 and later. Add Walti to Control Center, a Lock Screen button or the Action Button and it opens straight to a new expense.

What languages does Walti support?

More than 40, including English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi and Dutch.
