Clean, Simple, Basic

This is an easy and simple app to keep track of how much you spend each day. You go in, click a day, click the + sign and add the expense. Simple. The calendar layout lets you click a day and see what you spent that day. It’s not a budget manager, it’s not a financial planning software it just keeps a simple record of what you spend each day, whether it’s cash, credit or otherwise it’s still money spent. All I do is put in an amount I am budgeting for the month, then each day record where I spent money that day. Spent $2.38 at McDonald’s check, Spent $10.00 on gas check, Spent $45 at Macy’s check. Click on a day and I can see that on that day I spent this much money. I’m not planning my retirement or anything I just want a quick and simple look at where I spent my money on any given day without having to open a financial planning program like iBank or Quicken where everything has accounts and categories etc.

Many of the reviews says it lacks this feature or that feature, the reality is that this is not an app that is like Quicken or will keep track of your investments it’s a very simple way to keep a record of what you spent on any given day. I have been using a similar app on my iPhone for years and this one came on the mac and I had to get it. Very simple. For more complex things I use Quicken. At the end of the month you see your starting budget, what you spent, and what’s either left over or how much you went over. The first of the month start fresh. Why does everyone want to muck it up by adding unnecessary features. I like the simplicity that this app has. I can click on say Jan 5th and see that I spent $7.90 @ Panda Express, $10 @ Hess and $32.98 @ Apple. Plain and Simple - might be all the information I need in that moment, but, If I want to know more I will refer to my Quicken app and my entries there will say that the $7.90 was on my debit card for lunch at Panda Express, the $10 @ Hess was for Gasoline with my debit card and I used my Apple Gift Card to buy an iPhone case at the Apple Store which totaled $32.98.
