Most expense apps forgot what "simple" means. This one never did. Expense Tracker Simple is the app for people who just want to log what they spent, and nothing else. No setup. No account. No subscription. No tutorial. You open it, you log, you're done. Free. Forever. No catch. Not free for 7 days. Not free with a 5-expense limit. Not free until you "upgrade to Pro." Every single feature in this app, expense logging, monthly history, pie charts, custom categories, is yours forever, from the moment you download it. No credit card. No subscription. No expiry. No account. Not now. Not ever. You don't sign up. You don't verify an email. You don't create a password you'll forget. The app works the moment you open it, privately tied to your device_id. Nothing leaves your hands. Three taps. Every time. Open → Amount → Category → Done. That's the entire flow. No onboarding wizard. No budget targets to configure. No "link your bank account." Just log what you spent and move on with your day. Everything you need. Nothing you don't. • Log expenses with amount, category, date, and a note • 10 built-in categories for everyday spending • Add up to 15 custom categories • Browse any past month in history • Pie chart breakdown of where your money went • Get deeper insights into your spending with the analytics section • Yearly view to spot spending patterns • No bank connection. No data selling. Built for real people, not accountants. If you've downloaded five expense apps and deleted all of them because they were too complicated, too expensive, or too pushy, this is the one you've been looking for. It doesn't do everything. It does exactly enough.
