WhySpend — Record not just spending, but how you felt when spending. WhySpend is a minimal expense tracker built around two questions: how much did you spend—and why, in that moment? No asset accounts, no heavy accounting—just clarity on money and mood. Made for people who want to see where their money goes and what emotions drive it. We don’t lecture you to spend less. We help you tell necessity from mood-driven spending, so logging stays light and self-awareness stays real. What you can do • Log in seconds — Tap “+” on the tab bar to record amount, category, and mood • Mood tags — Presets: Pamper Myself, Necessity, Impulse Buy, Retail therapy, Keeping up, Sense of Ritual—plus custom tags • Bill list — Browse by day, week, month, year, or a custom range; spending and mood in one place • Emotion Review — Heat ring, trends, and reports comparing necessity vs. mood-driven spending • Mood spectrum — A color strip of recent moods; long-press to see each expense • Gentle alerts — In-app nudges when emotional spending crosses your threshold, with a cooldown so we don’t nag • Post-purchase check-ins — Mark purchases as worth it, neutral, or regret to sharpen your intuition • iCloud sync — When enabled, syncs to your private iCloud; we don’t run servers that collect your entries • Shareable report posters — Generate a personal mood-spending report to keep or share Every expense can carry the feeling behind it.
