tagMoney flips how you track money: no categories, no accounts, no rigid budgets β just tags and a tiny query language. Each transaction is only an amount, a time, and a few tags you invent (#salary, #food, #crypto, #Alice, #pokerβ¦). Income vs expense is inferred from the sign. Everything else is something you ask. QUERY, DON'T FILTER Type an expression, get a set of transactions and its total: - #income β total income - #food & #outcome β eating out - #income & #invest & #crypto β crypto gains - #outcome & ~#food β spending other than food - #top10 #outcome β your 10% biggest expenses - #Alice #outcome ~#food #JUN β spent on Alice in June, excluding food Set operators: intersection (& * or juxtaposition), union (| +), difference (\ -), NOT (~ !), and #topN for the top N% by amount. SEE IT - A Venn diagram of the result (each key tag a circle sized by total). - Charts by day/week/month/year and cumulative. Automatic time tags (#2026, #JUN, #Q2, #FRIDAY, #WEEKEND, #SUMMERβ¦) slice your data by time with zero extra typing. Truly private β data stays on device. No account, no ads, no tracking. JSON import/export for backup. Vietnamese & English, multiple currencies. Simple outside, powerful inside.
