BudgetMate: Expense Tracker

Official Brain

About this app

BudgetMate is a simple offline expense tracker and budget planner. Log what you spend, set a monthly limit, and see exactly where your money went — without creating an account or connecting a bank.

Everything is stored on your own device in a local database, so the app opens and works with no internet connection.
