Manual Expense Tracker for iPhone
MoneyCoach is a manual expense tracker for iPhone users who want speed and control. Add spending in seconds, import eligible Apple Pay / Wallet purchases with Shortcuts, organize everything by category, check budgets from widgets or Apple Watch, and use reports to understand where money goes without forcing a bank connection.
Start with manual entry, then add widgets, Shortcuts, or Apple Watch when the habit is working.

Make manual tracking easy enough to repeat
Use a short daily workflow: add the transaction, import Apple Pay purchases where possible, pick the category, and let budgets and reports show what changed.
MoneyCoach workflow
How MoneyCoach keeps manual tracking fast
- Quick Entry helps record routine expenses with fewer taps.
- Interactive widgets and Shortcuts reduce the friction of adding transactions.
- Apple Watch support keeps budgets and accounts glanceable from your wrist.
- CSV import and Apple Pay Wallet import help when you need bulk history.
- Reports, credit card tools, and Category Budgets turn entries into decisions.
When manual tracking is not the best fit
If you never want to enter or review transactions, a bank-sync-first workflow may fit better.
If you have many supported European bank accounts, MoneyCoach online banking can reduce manual work.
If you only need a simple note list, MoneyCoach may be more powerful than necessary.
