## What is WatchThatDough?

The expense tracker for people who've given up on tracking expenses.

You know the drill: download one, use it for four days, then quit when the plethora of features & options overwhelms you. 
Watch That Dough goes the other way. It does one thing, stupidly well - log a new expense in 3 seconds. So simple that the habit will actually stick this time.

SHORTEST FLOW OF ANY APP
Add amount, tap category, done.
No extra options. Auto-saved by default. It works like a personal assistant that anticipates your next move.

WHY IT WORKS
You make hundreds of little purchases a year - logging each of them should cost you next to zero brainpower.
- Add an expense in 3 seconds - just 2 taps
- No overwhelming features to wade through
- Lightning-fast, buttery UI

WHAT YOU GET
- Quick-add buttons (+50, +10, +5, +1) to reach any amount in a tap or two
- Your own categories, created in seconds
- A running monthly total and a clean category summary
- One-tap undo and edit, for when your thumb slips
- Export everything to CSV whenever you like

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your money is nobody's business. Everything stays on your iPhone - no account, no sign-up, no cloud, no tracking, no ads. The app doesn't even connect to the internet.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT ISN'T
Radical focus means saying no. There's no bank syncing, no recurring expenses, no splitting to the exact cent. If you want a spreadsheet that lives in your pocket, this isn't it. If you want to finally build the habit of tracking your finances - it very much is.

Pay once. No subscription, ever.

Start the habit today. Watch That Dough.
