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: whatβs left. Enter expenses the moment youβre 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.
