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.
