## What is Expenguin?

Expenguin is a simple, private way to track where your money goes — no account, no ads, no subscriptions. Everything stays on your device.

See it, don't just log it
Your current month's spending shows up right away as a chart — daily trend or category breakdown, your choice. Tap into any category to see exactly what you spent it on, including the shop or restaurant.

Compare month to month
See how this month stacks up against last month, or the same month last year, with a trend line or a side-by-side category breakdown. Spot the patterns before they become a surprise.

Returns happen — track them too
Made a return? Record the refund and link it right back to the original purchase. Your totals adjust automatically, and your purchase history stays intact.

Make it yours
Add your own categories and payment methods, each with their own icon. Choose a background that suits you. Everything's built to match how you actually spend, not a one-size-fits-all template.

Your data stays yours
Expenguin stores everything locally on your device. No account required, no data collected, nothing sent anywhere.

FEATURES
- Monthly spending charts — bar or pie, your choice
- Custom categories and payment methods
- Shop/restaurant tracking with full purchase history
- Return and refund tracking, linked to the original expense
- Month-over-month and year-over-year comparisons

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-11

What's New

- New "All Expenses" screen: every expense and refund, most 
  recent first, with a "Load More" button.

- Recent Places now sits at the top of Add Expense — tap a 
  place you've used before and it fills in the category and 
  payment method too, not just the name.

- Category and Payment Method lists are now sorted by how often 
  you actually use each one, so your most common picks are 
  always at the top.

- Amount entry redesigned: just type digits and the decimal 
  point appears automatically (type 1234 for $12.34) — no need 
  to type the "." yourself.

- Accounts in Balance can now be reordered — tap Edit, then drag 
  to rearrange accounts within their category.

- Nearly 60 new icons added to the category picker, organized 
  by theme (food, home, transport, entertainment, and more).

- Fixed an issue where the amount field could show the wrong 
  value while typing until you tapped Save.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-29

What's New

- Tap into any account in Balance to see its full transaction 
  history — expenses, refunds, income, and transfers — with a 
  "Load More" button to page through older activity.

- New Net Gain/Loss screen: track income vs. expenses over the 
  last 12 months with a simple bar chart and a month-by-month 
  breakdown.

- Credit card and other accounts can now carry a negative 
  balance, so you can track what you owe, not just what you 
  have.

- Fixed an issue where the number keyboard could get stuck open 
  while entering an amount, blocking the rest of the form.

- Added support for French, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), 
  Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.
