Why Money Manager Ex for iOS

Money Manager Ex for iOS (MMEX4iOS) is the mobile companion to the Money Manager Ex ecosystem on desktop and Android. It is designed for people who want practical finance tracking without giving up control of their data.

Highlights

• Private by default — manage your finances with local storage and AES-256 database encryption.
• MMEX-compatible workflow — work with the same data model used by MMEX Desktop and MMEX Android.
• Useful day-to-day finance tools — record regular, split, and transfer transactions; manage accounts, categories, payees, and more.
• Clear insights — review balances, trends, and recent activity with SwiftUI-based dashboards and charts.
• Document-based sync model — use the iOS Files workflow to open and manage databases.

Screenshots

The repository now includes a fresh screenshot set captured from the current simulator build, plus a generated marketing set for GitHub Pages and App Store planning.

These screenshots are generated from a real app run with sample data. Final App Store submission still benefits from a human review pass for copy, localization, and exact device-target compliance. See docs/app-store-release-assets.md for the full capture and asset plan.
