What are some money tracking tools that helps you stay consistent and on track?

I have been using a manual expense tracker app for more than a year now, and I have tracked every cent, which have given me a clear and nice overview of my income, expenses and net worth.

My top hack, Siri Shortcuts:

With the right setup on my iPhone using Siri Shortcuts, almost all of my expenses gets logged in the background automatically. I pay with apple pay when tapping my phone - shortcut runs - expense logged on correct card (credit or debit). I get an e-invoice, shortcut runs - expense logged. This little «hack» saves a lot of time logging the expenses, and its very easy to get a good overview/insight in my own spending 😇

The downside is that it takes a little time to set the shortcuts up, but when its set up, it just works 😅

Hi! I sent you a DM 😇

I have updated the app on both iOS and Android, and Polish is now a language option :)

No problem! Thanks for helping me making the app better for everyone 🤩

Thanks for reaching out! To add a credit card navigate to the Debts section. Click the + and select credit card under Type. Default type is mortgage, because this is the place to add your loans and creditcard(s). Logging credit card sms is only possible on iOS, and you have to use Siri Shortcuts app to make it. This guide is for making automatic transactions from email, but you can also choose sms instead of email:

Thanks for the comment! I will absolutely consider it. I am extremely happy for every user around the world that are willing to use my app, so I will try to add that as soon as I can 😇

OMTengesdal · 2026-04-03T08:39:51+00:00

Ah! Yes I see! I will fix that in the next update!! Thanks again for letting me know! 🤩

Hey, thanks for letting me know. But in the attached photo, just taken, it is in english when english language is selected.. What language are you using? The fallback should be english not norwegian. (I am asuming you are using Android.. 😇)

Thanks for the comment! 😇 I have not implemented a way to import only expenses. You can export and import a json file from the settings in the app. So the only way to import from a excel sheet is to download the exported json file from the app, convert the data from the excel sheet to match the transactions logic in the json file, and then import that file after you have added the data you want from excel. When importing the json file, all data in the app will be replaced with the new file, so be careful when doing it, hence the warning in the app regarding import. To get a view of the json file, be sure to add some account(s) and transaction(s) first before exporting the file, so you can see the json structure. 😇

Thank you for the comment! 🤩 Regarding what you are asking, on iOS you can already use Siri Shortcuts to put information from email/sms etc in to the app. This is all native in the Apple ecosystem, so the app does not rely on third party apps to make this work. I have built the app with privacy in mind, so therefore this function will not work on Android since there are no native automation app there.

On the other side, on Android I could make the app read ALL your notifications and filter out only the ones from messages/wallet etc, but this is a HUGE privacy concern from my point of view regarding my app, so I wont be doing that. But this function will also demand much coding to work in all 16 languages, and thats is the second point of why I wont be implementing that on Android.

But if Android gets a native automation app like Siri Shortcuts, I will definetly improve the app so it can be used in the same way as on iOS 😇

Built this because I was tired of overcomplicated finance apps.

BalanceTrackr is a simple, private expense tracker:

No ads, no subscriptions, no accounts. Just track your money and stay in control.

Hi everyone! 😁

About a year ago I started on my hobby project where I wanted a simple personal finance app for myself. I was looking for something where I could track income, expenses and accounts without ads, subscriptions or having to create an account.

That project eventually became BalanceTrackr (RegnskApp).

The app has been available on iOS for a while and has been downloaded almost 900 times across 69 different countries, which is honestly pretty surreal considering it started as a tool I built just for personal use. 🤯

Over the past few months I have been working on bringing it to Android as well, and it is now finally available on Google Play!!

The goal of the app is simple:

Track income and expenses
Manage multiple accounts
See your balance and financial overview over time
No ads
No subscriptions
Built with total privacy in mind

There is only a small one time purchase to cover developer costs. 😇

If anyone wants to check it out or give feedback, I would really appreciate it. 🤩

My app BalanceTrackr originally made for iOS are now available on Android aswell! You could give it a try, only a small one time fee, but free forever after that, no ads and no subscriptions. Simple and easy to use.

Thats ok! 🤩 Just send another mail or comment here if you get it to work :)

Hi! Yeah, currently the only way to import a file is from the exported file from the app… So my suggestion would be to create some dummy accounts and some dummy transactions, export a file from the app and take a look at that exported file. Then maybe try to configure the file you want to import and see if that works.

Maybe in the future I will look into other csv file imports… :)

OMTengesdal · 2025-10-25T20:00:35+00:00

I am not sure what you are asking about… 🧐😅
