The app's screens and voice input are currently in Korean. Say or type one line, such as "lunch 9,000 won card", and the amount, category and payment method are filled in; fix or undo right away. Speech recognition runs on-device only; on devices without on-device recognition, type the line instead. Log what you just spent, and the first line shows how much more you can spend today. Enter a monthly budget and the app divides it over the days left to get today's amount. Upcoming recurring expenses such as rent and phone bills are subtracted in advance, and last month's budget carries over into the new month. - Log a favorite expense with one tap, and undo it if you tapped by mistake. - See this month's budget gauge, a month-end projection, and category budgets. - Recurring expenses are logged on their due date when you open the app, including days you missed. - Check no-spend days, history and statistics, and export to CSV. No ads, no tracking, no sign-up. Your records are stored on this device and the developer does not collect them. They may be included in your iOS device backup. A record-keeping tool, not financial advice.
