Enjoy manually tracking your income and expenses with a simple, quick, liquid glass interface. Enter transactions in less than 5 seconds with a highly optimized transaction entry that shows you similar previous transactions to quickly autofill your transaction description and category Features: * 100% free forever. Tips are optional and always appreciated :) * No ads, no popups, no prompts to review the app, no data collection, no analytics. I created this app for myself and I don't enjoy being bothered so I'm not going to bother anyone else. If I ever stop working on this app, I will open source it * Export all your transactions to csv format in less than 2 seconds. You own your data * Import your existing transactions in csv format. All that's necessary is 5 columns: Description, Category, Amount, Type (Expense/Income), and Date (ISO 8601 format). You can optionally add Color and Icon columns to further customize your categories * All your transactions are synced to your iCloud. With CloudKit integration, all your transactions are safe even if you break your phone * Customize your categories to your liking. If the in-app customization is not sufficient, you can export the colors and icons in your csv file, and import it back in to see your changes. The icons are SF Symbols * Enter transactions fast, seriously fast * Extremely fast app loading. From a cold start, the app is fully loaded and interactable in 0.48 seconds even with my 7600 transactions * Convenience buttons for deleting all your transactions and unused categories so you can export your data, modify it as you wish, delete your data, then import everything again How this app came to be: I've been manually tracking my income and expenses for 10 years now. I've previously manually tracked in a spreadsheet and tried other apps, but I've consistently had gripes with them. I have always wanted to make my dream money tracking app, and the appeal of liquid glass finally pushed me to learn iOS app development to create this. I have tried for a few years to build this but always gave up because the mountain of learning app development was extremely daunting and I kept getting stuck. Now I'm just happy that I have something I can give to the world that I will use myself, and I hope others can use it too. How I recommend people track their money: * The best time to start tracking all your transactions was yesterday * Ensure you have notifications every time you get paid, and for every single transaction that occurs on any of your credit/debit cards and bank accounts * Every time a transaction occurs, track it as soon as possible. I'll usually be tracking my transaction in the checkout line to make sure I don't forget to do so * Feel every monetary transaction so you don't get complacent with money FAQ: Q: How should I categorize an expense that may fit multiple categories? A: Personally I'll just group things into whatever fits best, so I'll generally use "Groceries" for a Costco run, but if I'm buying more decorations or something I may log it as "Household". You can always manually enter multiple transactions for something you pay for. Things even out Q: Can you add xyz way to visualize the data? A: I made the csv export as painless as possible so people can use other better tools for visualizing their transactions. Q: Can you add budgeting features? A: Not currently planned but if enough people email me I might add it :) Q: How can I support you? A: Tip Jar :) Email: alexpyginapps@gmail.com
