Budgeting, but it's an RPG. Hunter Vault is an RPG Game Inspired budget & expense tracker you'll actually stick with. Log spending, beat debt with a snowball plan, clear quests, and rank up from E to S. Free to start. No bank login. No ads. YOUR FINANCES, NOW A QUEST Most budgeting apps make you feel behind the moment you slip. Games don't. Daily quests turn good money habits into wins. Clear quests, pay down debt, finish savings goals, and unlock achievements to earn XP and climb the ranks. DEBT SNOWBALL OR AVALANCHE: TURN DEBT INTO A BOSS FIGHT Every debt becomes a dungeon raid. Add what you owe, choose the debt snowball method (smallest balance first) or avalanche (highest interest first), and see your debt-free date. Every payment you log is an attack on the boss and earns XP. DAILY EXPENSE TRACKER See exactly where your money goes. Log an expense in seconds, categorize it, and spot trends over time. Turn on the optional daily reminder and the habit sticks. SMART IMPORT: SKIP THE MANUAL ENTRY Snap a screenshot of your bank statement, upload a PDF, or import a CSV. No bank login required. Hunter Vault reads the transactions, then shows each one for review with categories suggested and duplicates flagged before anything is saved. Optional online feature; uses Hunter Credits. HUNTEE: YOUR AI MONEY COACH Stuck on a money decision? Ask Huntee about your budget, spending, debts, and goals and get answers grounded in your own numbers. Huntee is read-only: it reads your finances to help, but never adds, edits, or deletes anything. Optional online feature; uses Hunter Credits. SHARED VAULT: BUDGET TOGETHER Track money with your partner, family or roommates. Share accounts, expenses, budgets, bills, debts and goals in one vault, and everyone sees the same numbers. Roles: Admin, Member or Viewer. Up to 6 people, including you. One Shared Vault plan covers everyone, and the people you invite join free. Your Personal vault, XP, rank and quests stay private. BUDGET PLANNER: KNOW WHAT'S SAFE TO SPEND Stop guessing whether you can afford something. Hunter Vault shows the real money left after your bills, savings, and debt are covered, so you can enjoy your wants without blowing your budget. SAVINGS GOALS Set goals for what matters, track every deposit, and watch the progress fill. Finish a goal to earn XP. RPG PROGRESSION Every hunter starts at the bottom.

Read full description

Ambagan is an expense app built for friends, families, and barkada — and now for you on your own. Split shared bills without the awkward math, and track your personal spending in the same place. WHY AMBAGAN • Split any way you want — equally, by percentage, or with fully custom amounts. Multiple people chipped in for one expense? Ambagan breaks down each person's share automatically. • Always know where you stand — your net balance across every group sits right on the home screen. Tap any friend to see exactly what you owe each other. • Settle up with proof — request, approve, or reject settlements with proof-of-payment photos, and bulk-settle across all your groups at once. • Works offline — the moment you need to record something is exactly the moment you have no signal. Log it right there; Ambagan saves it locally and syncs the second you reconnect. • Join in seconds — share a group invite link or QR code and friends just scan to join. TRACK YOUR OWN SPENDING • Books — personal ledgers like Daily, Japan Trip, or Household, separate from any group. • Budgets — a cap that resets monthly or covers the whole book, showing paid and pending spend. Free for everyone. • Mark an expense paid or pending, so upcoming bills don't look like money already gone. • Link a book to a trip group to see what the trip really cost you. • Recurring personal expenses that post themselves (Pro). NEW WAYS TO LOG • Scan a receipt into a group or a book and let Ambagan fill in the details. • Set recurring expenses that post themselves (Pro). • Log in the local currency when you travel, and budget in another (Pro). • Sign in fast with Google or Apple. FREE & PRO Ambagan is free to download. Free users can log up to 5 expenses a day, with a separate daily allowance for personal expenses — and budgets are free for everyone. Pro removes the caps and unlocks the full feature set: multi-currency, recurring expenses, drafts, and spending analytics — available monthly, yearly, or as a 2-week plan for short trips. Whether it's a trip, a household, a regular night out, or just your own week — split it fairly, settle it cleanly.
