The simplest budgeting tool there is. No BS. Start adding your entries as soon as you download the app. The inspiration for this app was my own problem of finding just a simple money tracking tool, and market's failure to provide me with such an app. This app will not ask for your credit card, it will not ask you to log in, or any of that boring stuff. It just tracks your recent bills so that you can measure your spendings. Still, it does not mean the app is in it's final form. My idea is to constantly improve the app with new features, but with those that will be optional, and that will not obscure the initial goal - simplicity. If you like Expense Tracker, please leave a honest review on the App Store! - Developer

About

SysDeck

Features
Read full description

SysDeck is a native system monitor in the spirit of Activity Monitor and the Windows Task Manager. It shows what your device is doing right now and stays out of your way. On the Mac, SysDeck is a full monitor: - Live process list with CPU, memory, owner and thread count — search, sort, and quit or force-quit any process. - CPU total and per-core load with a live graph. - Memory: used, wired, compressed, cached, swap and pressure. - Disk read/write throughput and IOPS, plus free space per volume. - Network throughput per interface. - Battery, power source and thermal state. - A live menu-bar readout of CPU, memory and network. On iPhone and iPad, SysDeck is a clean system dashboard: overall CPU and memory, battery and charge state, thermal state, free storage, uptime, device and chip, and your own network traffic. Everything you need to watch your system live is free. SysDeck Pro adds the power tools: - Long-term history — graphs that go back far beyond the live window. - Menu-bar customization — pick which metrics show and how. - Alerts — get notified on high CPU, heat, or low memory. - Report export — CSV or JSON. SysDeck reads system statistics locally and never transmits them. No accounts, no analytics.
