The best AI note takers for Mac with no bot in the call: Koi, Fathom, Granola AI, Otter, Fireflies AI, Jamie, MacWhisper and Talat, checked October 16, 2026.
Expense tracker
Add rent, bills, subscriptions and what you earn, and Koi shows what you spend a month, what comes in and what's left, biggest payments first. It's kept on your Mac, and it never asks for your bank.
Start
Koi's expense tracker is a list of what you pay again and again: rent, bills, a loan, Netflix, ChatGPT. Add what you earn too, and it shows what you spend a month, what comes in, and what's left. It opens from the dock's Tools button, or its card in Koi's window.
What it isn't, up front: it doesn't read your bank, the App Store or your email to find what you pay. You add each one yourself, in a few seconds, and it stays on your Mac.
Add one
Click a row to change or delete it. The biggest payments are always at the top, so what matters most is what you see first.
Income
Pick Income instead of Expense for a salary, your business, client work, a paid promotion or a one-time payment. Each has its own rows above your expenses, and the total shows what you earned against what you spent, and what's left. A one-time payment counts in the month it came.
The numbers
One currency for everything: US dollars to begin with, or any other from a list you can search. Nothing is converted, so pick the one you pay in.
By voice
Tap Fn + ⌘ and say “add Netflix to my tracker”, from any app. Koi adds it for you. More on talking to Koi.
Privacy
Your expenses and income are kept in Koi's own database on your Mac and sent nowhere. Settings, General, Clear history deletes them along with everything else. The app icons come with Koi, so nothing is fetched to show them.
Price
The tracker is part of Koi, on every plan. Pro is $20 a month, or $192 a year, after a 3-day free trial that needs a card. Lifetime is paid once, from $59. See the plans, or read how to use the tracker step by step.
