Money in, money out, written down in seconds — in the currency you actually spend. Money Tracker is a daily expense and income log that stays out of the way. Open it, type the amount, done. No bank login, no setup, no spreadsheet to maintain. WRITTEN DOWN IN SECONDS The keypad opens first. Income or expense, type the amount, pick a category, save. Most entries take a few seconds, which is the only reason a log like this survives past the first week. 120 CURRENCIES, INCLUDING YOURS Riel, dong, baht, rupiah, real, ringgit, won, rupee, peso, naira and the rest, with live exchange rates. Keep wallets in different currencies and still see one total. BUDGETS THAT WARN YOU EARLY Set a limit per category and watch the bar fill as the month goes on. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or any stretch of dates you choose. SEE WHERE IT WENT Charts by category, by label, by wallet. A calendar where every day carries its own total. Tap any slice to read the transactions behind the number. SHARE A WALLET Give a partner or a housemate the same wallet. You both add to it, you both see the balance move. BRING YOUR OLD DATA Import from Excel or CSV. The app reads your columns, works out your date format, finds duplicates and matches your categories before anything is saved. Export back to Excel whenever you like. ON THE HOME SCREEN Widgets for income and outcome, a statistics summary, and your recent transactions. Add an expense without opening the app. FIFTEEN APP ICONS One for most currencies: riel, euro, baht, dollar, pound, rupiah, real, won, dong, yen, ringgit, rupee. Your home screen in your money. ALSO INSIDE + Repeating entries for rent, salary and subscriptions + Transfers between wallets, across currencies + Labels that cut across categories + Your own categories and icons + Search across everything you have written + Sync across your devices + 19 languages FREE, WITH PRO IF YOU WANT IT Everything above works free, with two wallets and two budgets.
