Monies is a very basic expense tracker app I made for my wife. It looks like a spreadsheet because she’d been using a spreadsheet to track her expenses. But it’s like a spreadsheet on… whatever the opposite of steroids is. The whole point of the interface is to let you add items quickly. Just tap anywhere to start editing, then tap next on the keyboard to jump to the next cell. To delete an item, just clear its price and name, then tap Save. There are no fancy features like linking bank accounts, charts, or even a settings screen. It is available for free on iPhone and iPad, and it syncs via iCloud. I hope you find it useful.
