I was looking for an app to track my money—without ads, subscriptions, or cloud-based nonsense. Something simple. Something that helps me avoid overdrafts by tracking my recurring expenses—credit card bills, rent, subscriptions (ironically), and anything else that hits my bank account regularly. I tried Google Sheets, Numbers, Excel—but they weren’t built for quick, on-the-go finance tracking. And the apps I found were either too complicated or wanted a monthly fee just to add transactions. So I built this app. It’s simple, private, and just works. No sign-ups. No ads. No subscriptions. No cloud. Track your balance and future expenses easily. Works offline. Your data stays on your device. When I showed it to my colleagues, they had the same problem—so I figured, why not share it with others? If you try it, let me know what works (or what doesn’t). I’m no expert, just someone who needed this, and I know it works. My 11-year-old even gave me some feedback—his request? An undo button. That’s coming soon. Download it, give it a shot, and tell me what you think.
