## What is Simple Expenses?

Simple Expenses opens on a keypad. Type the amount, tap a category, save. That is the whole app.

No account. No sign-in. Nothing you record is ever sent anywhere — and it still survives a new phone, because you can back it up to your own iCloud Drive.

RECORD IN SECONDS
• The keypad is the first screen — no menu to open, no form to fill in
• The category you used last is already selected, so the usual case is one tap fewer
• Add a note or back-date an entry from the two chips above the keypad
• Home screen quick actions jump straight to Add expense or Add income

A MONTH THAT MATCHES YOUR PAYDAY
• Close the cycle yourself on the day you are paid, whenever that falls
• Whatever is left over is carried into the new cycle for you — and you can type a
  different figure if the app has drifted from the cash you actually have
• Forget to close one and it closes itself at the end of the month, so nothing runs on forever
• Every closed cycle keeps its own totals to step back to

SEE WHERE IT WENT
• Entries are grouped by day, each day carrying its own total
• Swipe to delete, with five seconds to undo if you did not mean it
• The cycle summary ranks every category and shows its share of the total
• Step back through earlier cycles from either screen

BACKED UP, NOT LOST
• Turn on automatic backups and pick a folder in iCloud Drive: a fresh copy is written every time you leave the app, and the last seven days are kept
• Save a backup file by hand wherever you like, and restore it in a few taps on a new phone
• No account and no server of ours — the file lives where you put it

LOCK WITH FACE ID
• Turn it on in Settings: the app asks every time it opens, and hides your figures in the app switcher
• Your phone's passcode always works if your face is not recognised

MAKE IT YOURS
• Create, rename, reorder and hide categories, each with its own emoji and colour
• Hiding a category keeps it off the keypad without touching entries you already recorded
• Pick your currency from the full ISO list
• Light, dark, or follow the device

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
There is no network code in this app at all — no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Your entries live in a database on your device. The only permission the app can ask for is Face ID, and only once you turn the lock on yourself.

A backup is a file you choose to keep. The app sends it nowhere; if you keep it in iCloud Drive, iCloud Drive is what carries it, not the app.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-11

This version closes the one real gap in the app: deleting it, or moving to a new phone, used to take your entries with it.

Backup
• Automatic backups: pick a folder (iCloud Drive is the one to choose) and a fresh copy is written every time you leave the app. The last seven days are kept.
• Save a backup file by hand whenever you like, wherever you like.
• Restore from a backup in Settings — the way to bring everything across to a new phone.
• Still no account, and the app still sends nothing anywhere: the file lives where you put it.

Lock with Face ID
• Turn it on in Settings → Privacy.
• Asks every time you open the app, and hides your figures in the app switcher.
• Your phone's passcode always works if your face is not recognised.

If the app is useful to you, a short review on the App Store helps other people find it. Thank you.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-30

The most-asked-for additions, and a fix for the thing that caused the most mistyped amounts.

Credit card
• The card joins cash and bank as a third place to spend from. What goes on it is owed, not held.
• The bills tab shows what went on the card this month, what is left to settle, and a Pay button that records the payment as a transfer — so nothing is ever counted as spending twice.
• Turn it off in Settings if you do not use one.

Adjust a balance
• Tap a balance on the first screen, type what is really there, and the app works out the difference and records it.
• An adjustment counts as neither income nor spending, so the summary keeps telling the truth.

Keypad
• Now laid out like a calculator, with 1 on the bottom row. Switch back to the phone layout in Settings.

Entries
• What is left in the cycle now sits at the top of the list.
• Every day carries what came in, what went out, and the day's own total — green when it ended up, red when it ended down.
• Days paid for from more than one place show the split between cash, bank and card.
• Three views to choose from: detailed, compact, or grouped by category.

Monthly bills
• Say which month a bill starts in. The months before it owe nothing.
• A stop button for anything you have finished paying — the months already ticked off are kept.
• Change what a bill costs and choose whether that is this month only, from now on, or every month.
• Tick a whole month off in one tap, and anything still owed is now plainly red.

Savings and investments
• Move money into a pot, or take it back out, straight from the keypad — the pot follows along.
• Savings and investments are kept visibly apart, and each currency is totalled on its own line.

Also
• Pick a category icon from a laid-out grid instead of hunting through the emoji keyboard.
• The first tab is now called Transaction.
• The summary suggests closing a cycle on payday, so each cycle is exactly the money you have to make last.
• Fixed: the summary could show zeros over a cycle that had entries in it.
