BALANCE · OFFLINE BUDGET APP

Track your money. Not handed to anyone.

A personal finance and budget tracker for Android where every account, transaction, and budget lives only on your device. No sign-up, no bank connections, no server in between. Every screenshot on this page is the real app.

Accounts & net worth

Every account, one real net worth.

Group accounts under four types — Cash & Bank, Cards, Savings & Investments, and Foreign Currency — and Balance rolls them into a single net worth figure automatically.

  • Multi-currency by design. Each account carries its own currency, converted back using the exchange rate captured at the time — historical reports never silently change as live rates move.
  • Foreign-currency accounts skip net worth by default. A travel card in EUR won't quietly inflate a figure you think is entirely in USD — include it only if you want that.
  • Archive, don't delete. Closing an account keeps its transaction history intact for reports.

Transactions & calendar

Log it in seconds, find it just as fast.

EXPENSE · INCOME · TRANSFER

Three transaction types

Three transaction types, each with their own fields, so moving money between your own accounts never shows up as spending. Filter by bookmark, type, account, or period, with running totals for whatever's active.

Balance app spending calendar on Android highlighting high-spend days and income days for the month

MONTH VIEW

Calendar view

The Calendar view marks high-spend and income days directly on the month grid, so patterns jump out before you open a report. Tap any day to see exactly what happened.

Budgets

Set it once. It applies to every month.

Default Budgets is a one-time template per category. Need one month to differ? Set Budgets edits just that month, without touching the default.

  • Month-end pace projection, calculated from your actual daily rate so far — not a flat average.
  • Rollover, if you want it. Unused balance can carry into next month's limit instead of resetting.
  • Per-budget alert threshold — 80%, 90%, whatever makes sense for that category.
Balance recurring transactions screen on Android listing rent, salary, and subscriptions with next due dates

Recurring

Rent, salary, subscriptions — handled.

Set a rule once — daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly — and choose whether it posts automatically or just reminds you ahead of time.

  • Catch-up scheduling. Skip the app for weeks — missed occurrences still post correctly on next launch.
  • Pause without deleting a rule you're not ready to cancel outright.

Reports

Real insight, not a spreadsheet dump.

Overview, category breakdown, and month-over-month trends — Balance writes plain-language insights from your own numbers: top category, largest single expense, how spending moved, what's renewing.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Balance connect to my bank accounts?

No. Balance is a 100% offline expense tracker. It does not connect to bank accounts, requires no login or user account, and your financial data stays entirely on your device.

Is Balance free, or does it have a subscription?

Balance is free to download, and the free version needs no subscription: transactions, accounts, and categories are unlimited, and it shows ads. An optional Premium plan — monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase, with a 7-day free trial — removes ads and adds PDF report export.

How does Balance handle foreign currencies?

Balance supports multi-currency tracking across 150+ currencies, with a currency set per account. When you log a transaction in a foreign currency, it saves the exchange rate in force at that exact time, so your long-term reports stay accurate as live rates move.

Does Balance support Arabic and right-to-left (RTL) layouts?

Yes. Balance is fully localized in Arabic and Urdu with native right-to-left (RTL) layout on Android — the whole interface is mirrored, not just the text. It also supports English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, and Japanese.

Does Balance work without internet?

Yes, always. Every account, transaction, and budget is stored only on your device. There is no server behind Balance and no connection required to use it.

How does backup work?

Backup is optional and off by default. When enabled, Balance writes a private JSON snapshot to your own Google Drive’s hidden app-data folder — manually or automatically — invisible in your normal Drive files and inaccessible to other apps. It never goes to a Muffinly Labs server.

Is there a transaction limit?

No. Transactions, accounts, and categories are unlimited on every tier, including the free one.
