Coffee on the way to work, groceries for the week, a trip to look forward to: PiggyPlan helps you see how everyday spending fits into your plans. RECORD AT YOUR OWN PACE Add income and expenses in simple mode, or use detailed categories when you want a closer look. Include a date and note, search past entries, and edit records as needed. KNOW WHAT YOU CAN SPEND See this month's income, expenses and balance alongside today's spending. Set a monthly budget and check how much remains. Weekly, monthly and yearly charts show spending trends and category breakdowns. KEEP SEPARATE LEDGERS Create ledgers for different purposes and choose a currency for each one. Keep daily spending and travel records separate, with amounts displayed in the selected ledger's currency. GIVE YOUR SAVINGS A PURPOSE Set a target for a holiday, a new laptop or an emergency fund. Record contributions and follow each goal's progress. Savings plans track amounts inside the app; they do not move money between bank accounts. MAKE IT YOURS Choose a warm apricot or cool slate theme. Add a PIN or pattern app lock. Export records as CSV and save a JSON backup file. Currency conversion and adjustable salary and mortgage estimates are also available. Start with one entry, and build a clearer picture of your money.
