About

CoffrBox

Features
Read full description

CoffrBox is a fast, private spending tracker. Everything lives on your phone — there's no account to create, no backend, and your financial data never leaves the device. LOG IN SECONDS A full-screen numpad, smart category suggestions, and natural-language entry ("coffee 180") make logging effortless. Tag how you paid — card, UPI, or cash. AUTO-LOG FROM BANK ALERTS Set up an optional Shortcuts automation that forwards bank alert texts to Coffr. Parsing happens entirely on-device. SEE WHERE IT GOES A monthly ring, safe-to-spend-per-day, six-month trends, category bubbles, weekday rhythm, and per-payment-method breakdowns. BUDGETS THAT MAKE SENSE Per-category envelopes with a visual fill level, an allocation timeline with a "today" marker, and reallocation suggestions when a cap is under pressure. PRIVATE BY DESIGN On-device SQLite storage. Export your data as CSV any time. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is anonymous, event-name-only analytics — never amounts, merchants, or notes.
