Another tracker went paywall? CalThings keeps the core free: 3-second logging, receipt OCR, trip bill-splitting, and a daily lunar almanac.
Today: good day to track. Bad day to overspend.
CalThings is the only expense tracker with a Chinese lunar almanac built in. Open the app to see today's zodiac clash and lucky/unlucky signs — then see where yesterday's money went. Old wisdom meets your real data, guarding your wallet together.
