If you gave up on an expense tracker because using it was too much work, give Scrooge a try. I made it for my wife and me. We wanted to record everyday purchases and know where our money went. Enter the amount, pick a category if you want, and save. The big number pad makes it easy to do with one hand while you're paying. You'll need to add each expense yourself. Scrooge doesn't connect to your bank or import transactions. Your history shows what you spent each day. When you want to take a closer look, see the category totals for the last 7 days, 30 days or a month of your choice. With Plus, you can also keep spending in different currencies separate. To try it, sign in with your email. The free plan includes 5 entries a day, 4 categories and 1 currency. Plus gives you 50 entries a day, 8 categories and up to 3 currencies. Your saved history stays available without a subscription. Plus renews automatically. You'll see the price before you subscribe, and you can cancel in your App Store account settings.
