Most expense trackers answer "how much did I spend?" Skint answers the question that actually changes your day: "how much can I still spend today?" Set a budget for a period - a week, a month, anything up to a date you choose - and Skint keeps one number in front of you: what’s left. Enter expenses the moment you’re at the till, calculator-style, in a single tap HOW IT WORKS β€’ Pick an end date and a total budget β€’ Choose Daily mode (your budget is split evenly across the days) or Monthly mode (one pot for the whole period) β€’ Spend. The big number updates instantly WHEN A DAY ENDS Saved something today? Skint can carry it over to tomorrow or spread it across the days you have left - your choice. Overspent? It rolls forward the same way, gently and without judgment FEATURES β€’ Fast calculator-style entry built for the checkout line β€’ Daily and monthly budgeting modes β€’ Carry over or redistribute leftovers automatically β€’ Top up your budget any time β€’ Expense history with quick delete β€’ Categories and a clean analytics screen with a by-category breakdown β€’ Period summaries - finish a period and keep the past ones β€’ Light and dark themes β€’ English and Russian PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No internet connection. Everything stays on your device. We collect nothing - there are no ads and no trackers Completely free
