Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An offline-first Android expense tracker for spending, debts, scheduled bills, savings goals, budgets, reminders, and receipts.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-18 issue.
For
Android users wanting private personal-finance tracking
Worth noticing
The APK is 3.2 MB, requests notifications and restart access, and declares no internet permission.

Field notes

The app is distributed as a small Android APK rather than through an account-based web service. Its described data model separates spending, savings transfers, debts, and recurring obligations, while reminders can mark scheduled payments as paid directly from a notification. The site also describes a single backup file containing transactions and receipt photos, with restore intended for moving to another phone. Version 1.5 is listed for Android 8 and later.
