Expense tracker

Questions people actually ask

How is this different from budgeting apps?

The big apps want your bank login so they can auto-import transactions — powerful, but it means a company holding your credentials and your full transaction history. This tracker takes the other trade: you log each spend yourself in about two seconds, and in exchange your financial life stays in your browser. Manual logging is also the point for many people — the act of typing it is what makes the spending conscious.

What does "on pace for" mean?

Your spend so far divided by days elapsed, times the days in the month — where the month lands if you keep this rate. It is honest arithmetic, not a forecast: a rent payment on the 1st inflates the early pace, which is also why the projection stays hidden until day 3. Judge it against your budget, not to the cent.

Can I set a budget?

One monthly budget for total spend, with a progress bar that turns red past the line and a pace warning when the projection overshoots it. Deliberately one number rather than per-category envelopes — a budget you actually check beats a spreadsheet you abandon in week two.

Is my spending data private?

By default it never leaves your browser — no server, no analytics on your amounts, nothing to breach. Sign in with Google and it is backed up to your private account row so your phone and laptop share one ledger; you can export or delete everything from My profile.
