Reminders
When enabled, you'll get a notification when you open Expense if anything is due soon. (Phone browsers can't push notifications while closed — open the app once a day to catch reminders.)
iOS Shortcut — voice log expenses
A web app can't read your Apple Pay transactions (Apple doesn't allow it), but you can build a Shortcut that voice-logs an expense into Expense. Say "Hey Siri, log expense" and it opens the app with the amount pre-filled.
How to set up
- Open the Shortcuts app on iPhone.
- Tap + to create a new shortcut.
- Add action "Ask for Input" → Number → "Amount?"
- Add "Ask for Input" → Text → "What for?"
- Add "URL" action with your hosted site URL + query params:
https://YOUR-SITE.netlify.app/?add=[Amount]¬e=[Text]
(replace with your actual site URL)
- Add "Open URL" action.
- Name it "Log expense" and enable "Use with Siri".
Any URL with ?add=12.50¬e=lunch&cat=Food will open the app with that expense pre-filled.
