Money Log is a local-first household ledger that works without an account or a required backend connection. • Record expenses, income, and transfers, then edit, delete, or undo • Set a monthly budget and see a deterministic end-of-month projection • Plan recurring expenses and inspect upcoming payment dates • Review possible duplicates created only from your own records • Explore monthly category reports and export portable CSV files • Create versioned JSON backups, preview them, and restore safely • Attach a receipt photo that you explicitly choose • Follow the system language and light or dark theme Ledger records and copied receipt images stay on your device. A file leaves the app only when you explicitly share a backup or CSV through another app. Money Log can show Google Mobile Ads banners on a small number of supporting screens and presents applicable privacy choices before requesting ads. Ads are not shown on core capture, review-decision, or closeout surfaces. Money Log does not connect to banks or claim to show live account balances. Every total is calculated from activity you record.
