Capture

Four ways in.No forms.

Talking, photographing the receipt, paying with your iPhone or, when nothing else works, typing. They all end in the same place: a tidy expense in your history.

Voice

You say it however it comes out.

No commands to learn, no order to respect. Sonanta is built for how people actually talk about money in Mexico — “the corner OXXO”, “my Santander”, “12 thousand” — in Spanish or in English.

“Spent 300 at the OXXO with my Santander card”
  • $300
  • OXXO
  • 🛒Groceries
  • Santander

The everyday case. All clear, so it saves itself and leaves you Undo.

“The day before yesterday, 650 on gas with BBVA”
  • $650
  • 🚗Transport
  • BBVA
  • Two days ago

You remembered two days later. The date sorts itself out.

“Groceries 900, David owes me 300 and Ana owes me 300”
  • $900
  • 🛒Groceries
  • David $300
  • Ana $300

You paid, you say it once. The $900 still counts in full and each of them stays pending.

“Uber 95”
  • $95
  • Uber
  • 🚗Transport

Two words are enough. Uber is a known merchant, so it arrives with its category and saves itself.

“Monthly Netflix subscription for 249 pesos”
  • Subscription
  • Netflix
  • $249 a month

Not today's expense: it's kept as a subscription and warns you before every charge. See alerts

“Bought a TV for 12,000 in 12 interest-free payments”
  • Installment plan
  • 12 payments
  • $1,000 a month

Each payment lands on its own day, instead of 12,000 hitting your month at once. See installment plans

“Spent 200 on pets”
  • $200
  • 🐾Pets

A category you made yourself. It recognizes it by name as soon as it exists.

“How much have I spent on food this month?”
  • Answer: $3,240
  • 14 expenses

The same button also takes questions. The answer comes right back. See questions

No connection

On the subway, in a shop with no signal, on a plane. Recognition runs on the iPhone, so the network never comes into it.

The audio isn't kept

It's transcribed on the phone and dropped. There's no recording of you anywhere, not even on your iPhone.

English and Spanish

The app speaks both and follows your iPhone's language.

Tell me about your day

Tell it about your day. The expenses come out on their own.

For people who log at night, from memory. Instead of saying five expenses with five cards, you tell the whole thing in one go, the way you'd tell a person, and Sonanta splits it up and logs it.

  1. 1

    Slide the microphone up

    All the way to the lock. It keeps listening without you holding anything, and a bar shows how much room is left.

  2. 2

    Talk the way you talk

    With your ums, your “oh, and yesterday…” and your “no, sorry, it was 320.” Apple Intelligence gets the corrections and which expense each thing belongs to.

  3. 3

    They log themselves

    Each with its amount, place, category and date. The screen is free the moment you finish, and if something looks off, you undo it.

It all happens on your iPhone. It's read by the Apple Intelligence model that lives on the phone, with no server in between. It needs an iPhone with Apple Intelligence; without it, you keep logging one expense at a time.

Apple Intelligence

When it isn't sure, it thinks twice.

Almost everything you say is understood instantly. But a place it had never heard of, a bit of math or an odd date used to leave the card half done. Now, before showing it to you, Sonanta asks Apple Intelligence.

  1. 1

    Only when it's unsure

    “300 at 7-Eleven” doesn't wait for anyone. “Two coffees at 85 each at the café on the corner” does: two numbers and a new place.

  2. 2

    It fills in, it doesn't make up

    The amount has to come from what you said —170 is 2 times 85— and what Sonanta already knows about you beats any guess.

  3. 3

    You confirm

    Whatever it filled in comes marked as suggested. And if it takes a while, tap “Don't wait” and the card opens with what was already understood.

Over time it asks less: once you confirm a new place, Sonanta learns it and won't hesitate next time.

Without opening the app

The easiest expense to log is the one that doesn't make you hunt for the app.

All of these doors lead to the same place: Sonanta already listening.

Siri

Without taking the phone out of your pocket. Siri opens Sonanta listening and you say the expense.

Action button

One press and Sonanta is already listening. Settings has a short guide to set it up.

On iPhones that have an Action button.

Home screen widget

Today's total and the month's, right there. One tap to log.

Shortcuts and Spotlight

Search from the home screen or drop it into your own shortcuts. That opens listening too.

Receipt

When you can't talk, photograph the paper.

In a meeting, in the checkout line or with your hands full: point the camera at the receipt and Sonanta reads the total, the merchant and the date. The photo is processed on your iPhone and stays there.

  1. 1

    You frame it

    The scanner finds the edges of the paper and crops it for you, even crumpled or crooked.

  2. 2

    It reads

    It pulls the total, the merchant and the date offline. It skips the subtotal, the tax and the change.

  3. 3

    You confirm

    You check the card, fix anything that's off, and it lands in your history like any other expense.

Printed receipts. Handwritten ones aren't read well yet — those are better dictated.

Apple Pay

You pay with the iPhone. The expense shows up on its own.

Hold the phone to the terminal and Sonanta learns the merchant and the amount. The payment waits in a tray until you confirm it — without asking for your bank credentials and without anything leaving your iPhone.

  1. 1

    You install the shortcut, once

    One tap from Settings → Capture. It comes wired up: no fields to fill in, nothing to configure by hand.

  2. 2

    You pay as usual

    Not one step more than you already take. Sonanta doesn't interrupt the payment and doesn't even need to be open.

  3. 3

    You review it whenever

    The payment waits in the capture tray. What you've already confirmed a few times at the same merchant goes in by itself, with Undo within reach.

  • Log it in one tap
  • Same one if you already dictated it
  • Not mine and it's discarded

Only contactless payments made with your iPhone. Cash, transfers and web purchases you still dictate.

By hand

And when nothing else works, you type it.

A number pad, the amount, the category, done. It counts the same as spoken, and it's one tap away on the same capture screen.

It's the backup, not the plan. If you catch yourself typing every day, try the widget or Siri: usually faster than unlocking.

Shared expenses

The bill gets split. Your expense doesn't.

You paid dinner for four. You log the full $1,200 and note who owes you what. When someone pays you back, you mark it and that's it.

  1. 1

    While dictating, or later

    “Dinner 1,200, Ana owes me 300 and David owes me 300”, or from the expense itself whenever you remember.

  2. 2

    The total counts in full

    What you paid is what left your wallet. The summary doesn't pretend you spent less.

  3. 3

    Names get learned

    After a couple of times, “Ana” is already Ana, without typing her again.

What it learns

Every correction makes it sharper.

You fix it once and it stops asking. All of it is learned on your iPhone: there's no cloud model getting better off your expenses.

“the red one”Santander Oro

Your card nicknames

“The red one”, “the payroll one”, “my Nu”. You say it once and it knows which is which. Mention a card you haven't added and it offers to create it.

La Chiquita🛒 Groceries

Your merchants

The corner shop isn't in any catalog. The first time you give it a category; from the second, it arrives with one.

“pets”🐾 Pets

Your categories

Create them with a name, a color and an icon, and recolor the built-in ones. It recognizes them when you say them.

Try it with your own expenses.

Fourteen days with everything open. If you stay, $149 once. If you don't, there is nothing to cancel.
