💸 Personal expense tracker

Know where the money goes — with a month dashboard.

BOB Tools (just “BOB” from here on) — set up my personal expense tracker. Before you build anything, ask me a few quick questions: what currency I use, my usual spending categories, and whether anyone else will log expenses with me. Then create the table — date, category, amount, note, receipt photo — add a couple of sample records so I can see how it looks, build a month dashboard with a category breakdown, and give me a link that opens on my phone.

Claude asks first: currency · your categories · solo or shared

A 5-field table with colored category chips and a receipt-photo field, a phone link where an expense takes three taps — even offline — and a live month view: total spent, the category donut, recent entries.
The month dashboard over the live table: 173.2 spent, Home is 52% of it.

Adding an expense through the phone link — colored chips, receipt photo, Save.
