Features

A month of money, from the first spend to the statement.

Everything here runs on the phone. Features marked Pro need a subscription; the rest are in the free app.

Capture

Getting a spend in takes seconds, in whichever way your phone allows.

No bank login on either platform. Whatever route you use, the entry is filed on the phone with a category already guessed.

Android

Cently reads the transaction messages your bank already sends and turns them into entries automatically, on the device. The message text is never stored.

iPhone

Apple doesn't let any app read messages. Your iPhone can forward them instead: set up one Shortcuts automation (iOS 17 or later; Cently walks you through it) and each bank message reaches Cently on its own. Without it, paste or share a message, scan a receipt, or add a spend in two taps.

Budgets

Limits per category, and a plan for the festivals you actually celebrate.

Set what each part of life should cost and watch it through the month rather than after it. Cently picks up your region and suggests festival budgets for it: Diwali, Eid, Lunar New Year, Christmas, Avurudu, Vesak, Pongal, Thanksgiving.

Every suggestion can be changed, and you can add your own.

Bills and subscriptions

What's due, when, and what it leaves you.

Record the bills and subscriptions you pay and Cently keeps them in view before they land. The daily number already accounts for them, so nothing due next week looks like money you have today.

Cently's Goals screen: savings goals with their progress and target dates
Goals

Saving for something specific, tracked to the date.

Name the goal, set the amount and the date, and put money aside as it comes. Cently shows whether the pace is enough and what it takes each month to stay on it.

Safe-to-SpendForecast is Pro

One number today, and the shape of the month ahead.

Safe-to-Spend takes your income, budgets, the bills still to come and what you've already spent, and shows what's left for today. It's in the free app.

Pro adds the cashflow forecast: where the balance is heading over the coming weeks, and which days are tight.

Statements and exports

A clean record of the month, made on the phone.

The monthly statement is a PDF you can keep or send on. The free app covers last month; Pro opens every period.

Exports to CSV and Excel are in the free app too, for anyone who wants the numbers in a spreadsheet.

And the rest

Six more, four of them Pro

Accounts and net worth

Pro

Keep your bank accounts, cards and cash together; the free app covers up to ten. Pro removes the limit and adds assets and net worth.

Home-screen widgets

Pro

The daily number, today's spending and your budgets on the home screen, so checking doesn't mean opening the app.

Family vault

Pro

A shared space for a household's budgets and the transactions you choose to share, synced end-to-end encrypted. Cently's server can't read it. Needs signing in with an email code.

Ask Cently

Pro

Ask a question about your month in ordinary words and get an answer back.

This one sends data. Your question and a few totals (budget names and amounts, category totals, net worth, Safe-to-Spend) go to Cently's server and on to OpenAI, which writes the answer. Never your transactions or merchants. It is not end-to-end encrypted, it is off until you agree to it, and it needs you to sign in with an email code. Up to 10 questions a day.
