Keypad-first entry, defaults and category muscle memory. Here's the practical version — how it works, why it matters, and how to set it up in minutes.
The core idea
Good money tools remove friction and keep you honest. How to Log an Expense in Under 10 Seconds comes down to exactly that: making the right action (logging, reviewing, capping) the easy action. Everything in this guide works on-device — no account, no bank credentials, no data leaving your phone.
Set it up in 5 minutes
Open your tracker, and: 1) create the categories or budgets this touches, 2) do the action once end-to-end so you trust it, 3) attach it to an existing habit (morning chai, commute, Sunday review). The best setup is the one you never think about again.
Fully offline, by design
