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
