Money2Time is an expense tracker that turns prices into hours of work. Scan a receipt or type it in, and see the hours behind it. After reading "Your Money or Your Life", something clicked for me. For most of us earning a wage, money isn't just money, it's our life energy. Every dollar we spend represents hours of our time, our effort, our life traded away. So I built this app. It helps you see your spending in a different way: not just in currency, but in hours of your life. Because sometimes "$20" doesn't feel like much, but "2 hours of my life" does. The goal is simple, to help you become more aware of where your money (or really, time) is going, so you can take back control of it. Everything stays on your device, no logins or cloud syncs. Your data is yours. You can also export the data as a simple JSON file if needed. The free version gives you everything you need to get started. Pro unlocks some extra features like unlimited accounts/categories/hourly rates, etc. Hopefully you'll always have control of your money and your life.
