Katego

Katego is a simple expense tracker for Android that keeps every number on your phone.
Record what you spend in a few taps and see each month at a glance. Every category has its own card with the month's total, the last three months as bars, and the change from last month. Set a monthly budget for any category and see what is spent and what is left, in words as well as colour.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Add an expense with its amount, category, payment method, date, an optional note and tags.
• See your history by month, search it, and edit or delete any expense.
• Use the built-in categories or create your own, with icons and colours.
• Set monthly budgets and follow them on the Home screen.
• Export every expense to a CSV file and share it where you choose.
• Lock the app with an optional PIN, and unlock with your fingerprint if you like.
• Use it in English, Spanish, or Haitian Creole, in light or dark theme.
PRIVATE BY HOW IT IS BUILT
• No account needed. The optional PIN account is a lock on this phone, not an online account.
• No cloud and no server: Katego does not even ask Android for internet access.
• No ads, no analytics, no crash reporting.
• Clear all data with one action. Uninstalling the app deletes its data from the phone.
NOTIFICATION ACCESS (OPTIONAL)
Katego can read the title and text of notifications from the apps you pick, such as your bank or messages app, to recognise purchase alerts so you can record expenses faster. It is off until you turn it on: Katego explains it in the app first and asks you to agree before your phone's settings open.
It stays on your phone. Katego does not send it to any server; it leaves your phone only if you export it and choose where to send it.
For each purchase alert it recognises, Katego keeps the amount, the shop name, the app or the sender of a text message (which can be a contact's name), the last four digits of the card, and the time. A suggestion you have not handled is kept for up to 60 days; after you add or dismiss it, these details are kept 30 more days. When you add an expense from a suggestion, Katego remembers the shop and its category until you forget it. Katego keeps the text of a notification only if you turn on capture mode: then it keeps an anonymized copy of money-related notifications. Card and account numbers, long numbers, e-mails, and phone numbers are hidden; names, merchants, and places are not.
While reading is on, Katego also keeps the name of each app that posts a notification, including apps you did not pick, with the first and last time it was seen, so you can choose which apps to watch. It reads nothing else from apps you did not pick. You choose the apps, you can pause or stop at any time, and you can delete what Katego kept, including the list of apps.
