An expense tracker that stays on your phone

See where your money went.

Log a spend in the ten seconds after it happens. Read the month at a glance. No account, no ads, no subscription, and your records never leave the device.

Free on Android. iPhone and iPad coming soon.

Log in seconds

Log it before the moment passes.

At the counter, in the car, walking away from the till. Logging a spend has to be quicker than forgetting it, so it is three taps and an amount.

  1. 1

    Tap minus

    Minus adds an expense. Plus adds income. Both sit at the bottom of the dashboard, under your thumb.

  2. 2

    Type the amount

    A calculator is built into the keypad, so a split bill or a round of three is worked out where it is typed.

  3. 3

    Tap the category

    The ones you use most come first. The record is saved the moment you pick, and Undo is right there if you need it.

Try it on the sample dashboard. A stopwatch runs from your first tap to the save.

The dashboard

Read the month without doing the arithmetic.

One ring, every category in its own colour and glyph. The biggest share is the biggest arc, and the totals sit in the middle.

  • Hold a category to see what it adds up to in the centre of the ring.

  • Swipe the ring for the period before or after. Choose a day, a week, a month, a year, all time or your own range.

  • Pull up the panel for every record in the period, by category or by date, each day with its own total.

  • Light and dark themes follow the phone, or you choose.

Features

Everything a household ledger needs. Nothing it does not.

Budget and carry-over

Budget mode shows what is left to spend this month. With carry-over on, what you did not spend moves to the next month, and so does an overspend.

Repeating records

Rent, salary and subscriptions add themselves, every week, every month and more.

Several currencies

Give each account its own currency, set the exchange rates, and see every total in your main currency.

Accounts and transfers

Cash, cards, savings. Move money between them with a transfer and every balance stays right.

Search

Find any record by category, account or note.

Passcode lock

An optional passcode, kept only as a hash in the phone’s secure storage.

Backup and CSV

Create a backup file and restore it on a new phone. Export CSV when a spreadsheet needs the numbers.

In your language

Available in 14 languages, with dates and amounts written the way your phone writes them.

Privacy

Your records never leave this phone.

Every expense, budget and balance lives in a database on the device. There is no server on the other end, so there is nothing to sign in to, nothing to sync and no copy anywhere else.

On Android the app opts out of automatic cloud backup, so your records are not copied to your Google account. A backup exists only when you make one, and it goes where you put it.

The one exception is the contribution jar. If you open it, the app asks Google Play for prices through RevenueCat, anonymously and about purchases only. Your records are never part of it.

Questions

Asked often.

Something else? Email support@lockinapp.org.

Is it really free?

Yes. Every feature is included, with no trial and no subscription. The contribution jar is an optional thank-you, and every feature is free either way.

Where are my records stored?

In a database on your phone, and nowhere else. There is no WhereItWent server, so nobody else can read them, including the people who made the app.

How do I move to a new phone?

On the old phone, open Settings and create a backup, then save the file somewhere the new phone can reach. On the new phone, open Settings and restore it. Export to CSV is for spreadsheets and cannot be restored.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Your records go with it unless you made a backup. Because nothing is stored online, nobody can recover them for you, so a backup now and then is worth the minute it takes.

Does it connect to my bank?

No, by design. Nothing is imported automatically and no bank login is ever asked for. Typing the amount is what makes you notice it.

Does it sync between devices?

No. Syncing needs a server, and keeping your records off servers is the point. A backup file moves everything in one go when you need it to.

Is there an iPhone version?

It is on its way to the App Store, for iPhone and iPad. Until then, WhereItWent is on Google Play for Android.

Find out where it went.

Free on Google Play. No account to make. Open it and log the next thing you buy.

iPhone and iPad coming soon.
