Expense tracker

Track daily spending by Nepali month. Works offline, stays on your device.

Most expense apps ask you to think in January and February, then want your bank login. This one works in श्रावण and भादौ, asks for nothing, and records an expense in about three seconds.

Why it uses the Nepali calendar

Rent falls on a Nepali date. Salaries land on one. Dashain arrives in Ashoj and takes a month's spending with it. A tracker that reports your month as 1–31 August makes you do arithmetic before you can read your own money.

The month switcher moves through श्रावण, भादौ, असोज — with the English dates underneath so nothing is ambiguous. Every expense shows its Bikram Sambat date, and the CSV export carries both.

Built to be fast enough to actually use

Type the amount, tap a category, press Enter. The category and date stay where you left them, because the next expense is usually the same kind on the same day.

Things you buy repeatedly — खाजा, a bus fare, तरकारी — appear as one-tap buttons. Most days that is the entire interaction.

Categories are the ones a household here actually spends under: खाना, किराना, यातायात, घर भाडा, बिजुली/पानी, मोबाइल रिचार्ज, स्वास्थ्य, शिक्षा and the rest.

Amounts accept Devanagari digits, commas and a leading Rs, so १२०० and 1,200 and Rs 1200 all mean the same thing.

Why it cannot connect to your bank

It would be better if it could, and it is worth being straight about why it does not. Nepal has no open banking framework — Nepal Rastra Bank has not defined one, and bank APIs are available to companies on a partnership basis rather than to you for your own data.

eSewa and Khalti publish payment gateways for accepting money, not for reading your transaction history. Fonepay is settlement rails between banks. No account aggregator covers Nepal.

Android apps that appear to do this are reading your SMS alerts. A website cannot read SMS, and would not deserve that permission if it could.

So entry is manual, and the answer to that is to make it take three seconds rather than to pretend otherwise.

Common questions

Is my spending data uploaded anywhere?

No. Expenses are stored in your browser's own database and never leave the device — not even if you sign in to sync your CVs, which deliberately excludes them. Export a backup file to keep a copy or move to another device.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Install it from your browser menu and it works with no connection at all, which is the normal case for adding an expense on the way home.

Can I get my data out?

Any month exports to CSV with both AD and Bikram Sambat dates, which opens in Excel or Google Sheets. The full backup file also carries every expense.

How many expenses can it hold?

Thousands of years' worth in practice. It uses IndexedDB rather than the small key-value storage the rest of the site uses, precisely so that daily use never runs into a limit.
