Getting started with Papirer

Your first entry, your month at a glance and where to find everything.

Last updated September 30, 2026

Start with a sentence

Open Papirer and sign in with your email and the code you receive, or with Apple. The welcome flow helps you save your first entry and confirm your preferences. Check your country and currency: they are the reference for your figures.

Type “coffee €3.50” in the bar at the bottom. Papirer works out the amount, date and category. It saves a clear entry or asks for a missing detail or your approval. Check the result before moving on. You can also speak, attach a receipt or send a PDF.

The same bar answers “How much have I spent eating out?” and understands corrections such as “It was 4 euros.”

Your diary

The reading at the top shows your recorded spending, how it compares with your usual pace and a forecast when there is enough history. Tap it to explore the figures. Your entries sit below, grouped by day.

Use the period selector to explore your history. Open an entry to change its amount, date, category or list. The menu lets you search, filter by list and hide amounts.

Find your way around

  • Reports: summaries, categories, comparisons and exports.
  • Goals: spending limits, savings and jars.
  • Recurring: what repeats and when it is due.
  • Categories and Lists: organise entries your way.
  • Memory: choose what Papirer remembers about names and people.
  • Assistant activity: check the changes it has made.
  • Account, Settings, Notifications, Widgets and Help: preferences and useful shortcuts.

Start for free

The free plan has a monthly entry allowance. The assistant, goals, jars, lists and reports are available without Pro. The subscription guide explains what counts and what Pro adds.
