Can anyone recommend a good expense tracker for ios?

Nothing fancy, i just need a good app where i can record a handful of daily incomes and expenses and see how much i’ve spent / saved in a week / month / year

Searching directly in the app store has resulted in lots of freemium / ad-infested apps which i’d like to steer clear from.

On ios I use Transactions:

apps.apple.com/us/app/…/id1341151468

Super simple checkbook/expense app but it doesn’t have a reporting feature. No ads. Does do backups in JSON though.

MoneyStats, altho its more comprehensive than that

This is the one that I use. Free, feature complete, no ads. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good expense tracker.

Use Apple’s Numbers. Set up a small spreadsheet with autofill date, expense, note field. Sync it with iCloud and you can just open it on desktop as well.

(Finally something I can almost answer!)

So, I don’t have an app, but I use this, and it’s amazing. Takes around 30-45 minutes to set up.

Yes, Pipedbot, that is a YouTube link. Proceed with your public shaming.

a graphical chart you can link to the original spreadsheet and have emailed to yourself monthly

I want to start budgeting this year, I’m going to try this

I’ve been using it for a few years now. It’s great.

Couple tips:

Add a colored bar with the date being the first of each month, and the name being AAA. It makes it easier to read to have month separators in

Add a column that says what account you paid it out of if you use multiple accounts

Don’t forget to update it with new bills you acquire

Get the Google sheets app on your phone, and log every purchase. Candy bar at the gas station? Log it. Secret fast food purchase you don’t want anyone knowing about because you’re ashamed? Log it as a gasoline purchase. Bought some weed from that dude Tommy who was at your buddy’s house? “Walgreens” lol. Just make sure you get in the habit of logging minor spending

Also, there’s a cool graphic that you can set to be emailed to you once a month that you link to the budget, giving you a break down of your spending in certain categories. I’ll find it and update the original comment with it.

I was asking for a toothpick but you gave me the whole swiss army knife! Thank you though. I’m a huge excel fan (was almost addicted at one point) but right now I’m just looking for a simple app to track a few petty allowances and this seems a little sophisticated.

but I think I’ll definitely hold on to this for the future. Ultimately, spreadsheets seem infinitely better at budgeting than any apps out there.
