# Savyy is now on iOS and Android
The Savyy app is out on the App Store and Google Play. Your banks, balances, budgets and categories are already in sync, and the app adds home screen widgets, Face ID unlock and push alerts that a browser tab cannot do.
# Savyy is now on iOS and Android
Savyy is on the App Store and Google Play. It is free to download, it signs you in with the account you already have, and everything you set up on the web is waiting for you.
## Everything is already there
The app and the web app read and write the same data through the same API. Sign in and your connected banks, account balances, budgets, envelopes, portfolios and tracked property are all there. A category you correct while standing in a checkout queue is the category you see on your laptop that evening.
The app ships in English, French and Spanish, and follows whatever language your phone is set to. Each account displays in the currency it is actually held in, and the totals convert into your base currency.
## What is in it
Five tabs. Overview puts your total wealth at the top and every account underneath, with money in and money out for the month. Analysis breaks spending down by category, then by subcategory, and the transactions behind any slice are one tap away. Chat is the Savyy assistant, with your own numbers in context. Markets covers stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex and commodities, plus whatever you have favorited. Menu holds the rest: budgets, envelopes, cash flow, subscriptions, alerts, price alerts, reports, real estate, other assets, savings and exports.
This is not a trimmed-down version of the web app. Parity between the two is a rule we hold ourselves to, and it is checked when either side changes.
## Widgets on your home screen
There are five, and they run on iOS and on Android. Your total net worth. How that wealth splits across account types. This month's income against expenses. Your monthly budget. The stocks and ETFs you follow. Add the ones you care about and you can read your position without opening anything.
## Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint
Turn on the app lock and Savyy asks for your face or your fingerprint every time it opens, with a PIN behind it for when the sensor gives up. Switch apps and the preview card in the multitasking view is replaced by a plain Savyy screen, so your balance is not sitting there for whoever happens to be next to you on the train.
## Alerts that reach your phone
Unusual spending, a budget you are close to using up, a price alert on an instrument you follow. Notifications arrive through Apple and Google, and tapping one opens the screen it is actually about instead of dumping you on the home tab.
## Why this is a real app and not our website in a shell
We could have wrapped the web app in a web view and shipped it in a week. Plenty of finance apps are exactly that. Three capabilities made it not worth doing.
The biometric lock is the clearest one. Face ID and Touch ID work by releasing a key that the phone's own secure hardware holds, and Android does the equivalent through its keystore. A page running in a browser tab has no way to put itself behind that prompt. An app lock that is really just another password form is a different product.
Widgets are the second. No web API exists for home screen widgets on either platform. WidgetKit on iOS and App Widgets on Android are open to installed apps and to nothing else, so a website cannot ship one however well it is built.
Push is the one people underestimate. On iOS, a website can only notify you if you have added it to your Home Screen first, and every notification it sends after that has to be visible to you. A native app talks to Apple's and Google's notification services directly, and the payload can carry the deep link that opens the right transaction.
Then there are the details that never make a feature list. The tab bar is the platform's own. Long-pressing the icon jumps straight to Overview, Analysis or Favorites. Sheets drag the way sheets are supposed to drag, and there is a haptic tick when a toast lands. None of that would earn a bullet point on a landing page. Together it is most of what separates an app from a page pretending to be one.
## Where the browser is still better
The web app is not going anywhere, and for some jobs it is the right tool. A year of transactions reads better on a wide screen. Comparing two portfolios side by side wants a mouse. Exporting to CSV and opening it in a spreadsheet is desktop work. Both clients sit on the same data, so use whichever one is in your hand.
## Getting it
The app needs iOS 17 or later on iPhone. It works on the free plan. If you subscribe to Savyy+ from inside the app, that subscription shows up on the web as well, and you manage it in the store you bought it from.
