Take control of your spending with intentional spending tracking and budget planner. Spendline runs locally on your phone, so your data never leaves your device. Features: - Budget Planning - Custom Categories - Recurring Expenses - Insightful Reports - Multiple Currencies - Private by Design The Philosophy We tried automated expense tracking. Bank syncs, AI categorization, receipt scanning—none of it worked. Why? Because when an app does all the work, you stop paying attention. Spendline is different. Each expense you log is a moment of awareness. After weeks, months, and years of tracking, patterns emerge that will genuinely surprise you. You think you know where your money goes—until you actually track it. Why Manual Tracking Works In a world obsessed with automation, we chose a different path. When you take 10 seconds to log an expense, you're not just recording data—you're building a mental connection to your money. This small act of intention creates lasting behavioral change.
