LensBook vs Pennylog

LensBook helps you track travel and everyday expenses from photos, voice, shared images, and quick manual entries. Take a photo of a receipt, menu, or price tag, or send a receipt screenshot from another app. LensBook helps turn it into an expense record by finding amounts, recognizing currencies, and letting you review, correct, or mark the amount yourself. You stay in control before anything is saved. LensBook is designed for travel, daily budgets, and any situation where expenses come in different currencies. Projects keep each trip or budget separate, and LensBook can automatically activate the project that matches today's date. On the Home screen, travel projects show trip progress, remaining budget, and daily budget pace so you can see how your trip is going at a glance. Need to add an expense without a receipt? Use voice input and say a simple sentence such as "Coffee 4 dollars 50 at Starbucks" or "Starbucks 4500 won." You can also use Quick Add when you just want to type the amount yourself. When a trip is over, LensBook can help you look back with statistics, category summaries, CSV export, and shareable recap cards. Your records are stored locally on your device, with no mandatory sign-up or cloud sync.

The more you log, the more your money makes sense. Pennylog is a daily expense tracker for people whose lives span more than one currency. Log what you spend in a few seconds, in any currency, and watch it build — over weeks and months — into a clear picture of where your money actually goes. No bank logins, no ads, no sign-up. Just you and your records. ■ ANY CURRENCY, LOCKED IN Dollars, euros, yen, won — log spending in any currency. Each entry is saved at that day's exchange rate, so your past totals stay accurate even when rates move later. Add a secondary currency to see every amount in your home currency at a glance. ■ TRIPS & PROJECTS, EACH IN ITS OWN CURRENCY Group a vacation, a move, or any big plan into its own project with its own budget — and give each one its own currency. A Tokyo trip in yen, a Paris trip in euros, each locked at the day's rate. Project spending stays separate from your everyday totals, so a trip to Tokyo never makes your normal month look off. ■ BUDGETS THAT FIT YOU Set one overall monthly budget, per-category limits, or both. As you log, see exactly how much is left — calm, simple progress, never a scolding. ■ STATISTICS THAT GET RICHER A category donut, monthly trends, and a per-category detail you can scroll back through month by month. View your days as a list or on a calendar. Long-press a category to mute it for a moment and see the rest. The longer you keep it, the more it shows. ■ WEEKLY & MONTHLY RECAP See this week against last: your biggest expense, daily average, no-spend days, and which categories went up or down. Gentle awareness, not guilt. ■ GENTLE REMINDERS Optional notifications nudge you to jot down today's spending and keep the habit going — never noisy, never negative. ■ STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No accounts. No sign-up. No bank logins. No cloud. Your financial data never leaves your device — and there's no server for it to leave to. Back up or export your data anytime, on your terms. ■ FOUR LANGUAGES English, Korean, Spanish, and French — across the whole app. ■ MORE • Cash counts too — the spending bank-sync apps quietly miss. • Custom categories and accounts (cards, bank, cash). • Completely free — no ads, no in-app purchases, no premium tier. ■ MADE FOR Expats, students, remote workers, travelers — anyone living or moving between currencies who wants one simple, private place to record daily spending. A line a day is all it takes. The longer you keep it, the better it gets.
