Most expense apps forgot what "simple" means. This one never did.
Expense Tracker Simple is the app for people who just want to log what they spent, and nothing else. No setup. No account. No subscription. No tutorial. You open it, you log, you're done.
Free. Forever. No catch.
Not free for 7 days. Not free with a 5-expense limit. Not free until you "upgrade to Pro." Every single feature in this app, expense logging, monthly history, pie charts, custom categories, is yours forever, from the moment you download it. No credit card. No subscription. No expiry.
No account. Not now. Not ever.
You don't sign up. You don't verify an email. You don't create a password you'll forget. The app works the moment you open it, privately tied to your device_id. Nothing leaves your hands.
Three taps. Every time.
Open → Amount → Category → Done.
That's the entire flow. No onboarding wizard. No budget targets to configure. No "link your bank account." Just log what you spent and move on with your day.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
• Log expenses with amount, category, date, and a note
• 10 built-in categories for everyday spending
• Add up to 15 custom categories
• Browse any past month in history
• Pie chart breakdown of where your money went
• Get deeper insights into your spending with the analytics section
• Yearly view to spot spending patterns
• No bank connection. No data selling.
Built for real people, not accountants.
If you've downloaded five expense apps and deleted all of them because they were too complicated, too expensive, or too pushy, this is the one you've been looking for.
It doesn't do everything. It does exactly enough.
The minimalistic design is something that should be appreciated. But one feature that I feel is missing is income tracking. That can be added to see where my finances are gained and give a entire picture of
Developer Response
Really appreciate the feedback! Income tracking is already in our pipeline and should be live in the coming weeks. We want to give you the full picture of your finances, just like you described. Stay tuned!
Perfect to use

Everything is perfect. Only two things: search option to search for a particular expenseAnd in summary if we click on category if we can just see all expenses under that particular catergory, it would be greatThanks for making such a simple app
Thanks for the fix
Debasmita Basu
Since Friday the app was no longer working. All past expenses were no longer showing up, and an attempt to add a new expense was throwing 500 server error. Thanks for the fix as the app has been really helpful since I have started tracking my expenses. Feeling relieved :)
Developer Response
Thank you so much, Debasmita! We're sorry for the inconvenience caused by the server disruption. We've since upgraded our infrastructure to prevent this from happening again. So glad to hear you're back to tracking.
Excellent app! Feature requests
Gouthu7
Love the simplicity! Three feature requests:1. SUB-CATEGORIES - Allow nested categories (e.g., Food → Groceries, Restaurants)2. INCOME TRACKING - Add option to log income alongside expenses3. IMPORT/EXPORT - Support CSV/Excel for backup and data analysis4. SHORTCUTS INTEGRATION - Custom categories don't show in iOS Shortcuts. When I trigger an expense log from Shortcuts, only built-in categories appear. Please add URL scheme support or sync custom categories with Shortcuts for true automation.5. RECURRING EXPENSES - Option to set up monthly recurring bills/subscriptionsThese would make it perfect for power users managing finances with automation. Keep up the great work!🫡
Smoother expense logging:
- Category stays selected after adding an expense, faster for repeat entries
- Keyboard now auto-dismisses after submitting
- Decimal amounts support, for even accurate amount addition.
Under the hood improvements:
- Better validation when editing expenses
- Error feedback when delete fails
- Deep link reliability fixes
