Jotter: Expense Tracker App
Buy-once finance app. No bank login, no subscription.
Hey! Spent the last few years as an iOS dev on some pretty big apps. Jotter is me testing whether I can do the indie thing on my own. Launched it as a subscription, but a year in I couldn't justify billing people monthly for something this simple. It's now a one-off $4.99. Manual expense entry, budgets, recurring bills, spending charts, iCloud sync, Home Screen widgets. No bank login. No servers. No ads. A quiet app that helps you actually notice where your money goes.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Alex, solo indie dev based in Brisbane, Australia. I shipped the first version of this app as a subscription, then asked myself why a simple expense tracker needed a recurring bill. Version 2.0 is the answer. Jotter is buy-once, $4.99, forever. What makes it different: - Manual entry, on purpose. Noticing and logging your spending IS the point. If the app imports everything automatically, you stop paying attention. That's the whole user problem, not a feature to solve. Every purchase you make should be something you consider and take ownership of. - No bank login, no account, no server. Your data lives in CoreData on your iPhone and syncs across your devices via iCloud. I don't run a backend because I don't need one, and because the second I do, your data becomes my liability. Stuff I'd love your thoughts on: – Does the manual entry interest you or the exact opposite? – Features the app should include? – Features it should not include? I'll be in the comments all day. Please feel free to ask anything. Alex The Cosy People
