About the Expense Tracker
Tracking where your money goes is the first step toward controlling it. Most people who start logging expenses are surprised to discover that small, frequent purchases — coffee, subscriptions, takeout — quietly consume a large portion of their income. Visibility changes behavior.
How it works
Every expense is assigned a category (Food, Transport, Housing, etc.) so you can see spending broken down by type. The chart shows your category split at a glance. Use the month filter to compare spending across different periods. Everything is stored locally — your data never leaves your device.
Why track expenses
- 📊You can't budget what you don't measure — tracking reveals patterns invisible to memory alone.
- 💸Finding one or two recurring expenses to cut often saves $100–$300/month without feeling deprived.
- 🏦Monthly breakdowns make it easy to spot lifestyle creep before it becomes a problem.
- 🔒No account required — your spending data is private and stored only in your browser.
