Income and expenses - the tracker you'll actually keep using. Each logged in under 10 seconds - no bank login, no account, no one selling your data. MOST TRACKERS FAIL IN WEEK ONE Not this one. The coffee, the taxi, the spontaneous lunch - each logged in under 10 seconds, straight from your Lock Screen, Control Center or the Action Button. Amount, title, category, done. Optional reminders keep the habit on track. Fast enough that you actually keep doing it, which is the only way tracking ever sticks. NOT JUST EXPENSES. INCOME TOO. Kirum now captures what comes in - salary, investments, gifts and more, with their own categories and just as fast as an expense. Everything in one place, so you see what comes in, what goes out, and what's left. PAY WITH APPLE PAY. SKIP THE TYPING. Buy something with Apple Pay and Kirum records the amount, merchant, and currency for you. The expense is logged before you've put your phone away. SEE THE PATTERN, NOT JUST THE TOTAL Category breakdowns by week, month or year, for expenses and income alike. Kirum surfaces the categories quietly creeping up - the slow drift a bank statement will never point out. Search and filter your full history to find any entry in seconds. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND STEADY INCOME, IN ONE PLACE Kirum keeps every subscription and fixed cost in plain sight, so the small monthly charges stop adding up in the dark - and steady income like your salary belongs here too. If you want, Kirum reminds you before the next charge. SPEND ABROAD WITHOUT THE MATH Pay in over 60 currencies and Kirum converts each expense back to your home currency. Whether you travel often, live abroad, or just buy from overseas - Kirum keeps track for you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN, NOT BY PROMISE Other apps ask you to trust them. Kirum removes the need. No account. No bank connections. No ad tracking, no data brokers, no profiling. Your expenses and income stay on your device and sync through your private iCloud. Kirum never sees a single amount. SWITCHING TAKES MINUTES Already tracking somewhere else? Import your full history with CSV and pick up where you left off - synced across your iPhone and iPad. Log your first expense. See what comes in, what goes out, and what's left.

Map Budget is a simple expense tracker that lets you record your daily spending along with where it happened, so you can look back on where you spend your money on a map. Most expense trackers can tell you what you spent money on and how much you spent, but they don't always show where and in what situations you're spending it. By recording each expense with its location, you can discover patterns that are easy to miss when looking at amounts and categories alone — like eating out more often near work or frequently stopping by convenience stores on your way home. But tracking more information shouldn't make managing your expenses a chore. With Map Budget, just open the app, enter an amount, choose a category, and save. Your current location is added automatically, so there's no need to enter a store name or address every time. Simple to record. Easy to review. See not only what you spend your money on, but also where and how you spend it. ▼ Open, enter, and save • Quickly record an expense by entering an amount and choosing a category • Start entering an amount immediately with a dedicated numeric keypad • Your current location is added automatically — no need to enter store names or addresses • Quickly record expenses from your Apple Watch ▼ See where you spend on a map • View your recorded expenses on a map • Color-coded categories make it easy to see where you've been spending • Move pins manually when you need to adjust an expense's location • Look back on when, where, and how much you spent ▼ Review your spending with charts and a calendar • See monthly spending with stacked bar charts by category • Review your daily expenses from the calendar • Automatically record recurring expenses such as rent and subscriptions ▼ Great for anyone who wants to • Keep track of expenses quickly and simply • Review everyday spending such as dining out and shopping • See not only what they spend money on, but also where they spend it • Manage expenses without connecting bank accounts or credit cards ▼ No account or bank connection required Start using Map Budget right away without creating an account.
