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 * Shortcuts support so you can automatically create transactions from financial notifications * 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 * Instant app loading 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, via Shortcuts automations if possible. * 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: How can I support you? A: Tip Jar :) Email: alexpyginapps@gmail.com
