Expenses Mobile

Expenses is an iPhone App that helps you track your spending habits. Keep track of your expenses without giving away credit card & bank account numbers, or passwords. Everything is stored locally on your iPhone or iPod touch. No internet connection required. No third-party servers with your private information.

The more you use Expenses the quicker and easier it becomes to enter data. The application groups the most used items at the top of each list so entering new data is a snap. Quick Expenses makes data entry even faster: If the application finds frequently entered expenses it will display the top 4 as 1-tap expense buttons.

Advanced Users & Brave Souls

Below is the schema for the sqlite database used for Expenses. One could theoretically create a new database and pre-fill it with old archived data and upload it to the application.

The time_stamp column is the number of seconds since 1 January 1970, GMT

The time_offset column is the number of seconds offset from GMT

(NOTE: the application limits uploaded files to ½ MB)

(NOTE: The schema has been updated since v1.2.1)

-- create categories table CREATE TABLE categories ('id' INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, 'name' CHAR(22), 'sequence' INTEGER); -- create expense table CREATE TABLE expenses ('id' INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, 'category_id' INTEGER, 'amount' REAL, 'time_stamp' REAL, 'time_offset' INTEGER, 'description' TEXT);

Dear Patrick,
I discover your application some days ago, and
is very usefull for me but i find some difficulties
in Description field. Infact I usually write a
detalied description and the insertion "only by list"
is a bit complicated because almost 50% of time i need
to modify the list adding a new item. I suggest you to
modify the description'insertion using directly the
keyboard, maybe with a "most used description" list below

Best Regards

Luca

The currency is determined by the "Region Format" located in the iPhone/iPod settings.

To edit your "Region Format" go to Settings > General > International

luca,
The "description" interface originally was only inputted via the keyboard. I myself found it tedious to input the description every time so i changed it to a list. Perhaps i could combine the two as you are suggesting.
i have already completed a new update and it should be released within a week, but i will keep your suggestion in mind for future updates.
thanks for the feedback!

Thanks!
Its very easy to use. This would be perfect if it was possible to capture revenue (just a minus sign) for a small accounting easy

Very useful! Juat one suggestion: to link descriptions to it's own category to shorten the list to choose from.

Albo - i have plans for CSV export
Vittorio - i like your idea. i will try to implement it soon.

at this point i have no plans to add an "income" feature. this app is designed to quickly and easily track your expenses. most people know how much money they earn, it's a lot harder to know how much you spend…
