A simple way to see where your money goes

You don't need a complicated finance app to understand your spending. Expense Manager in Private Journal Pro lets you write down what comes in and what goes out, sort it into your own categories, and see the total for any period. It is quick to use and private to you.

Record income and expenses

Add an entry with a date, a name, an amount and a category, plus an optional description, for example "Weekly shop, £64.20, Groceries". Use separate entries for money coming in, such as salary or a refund, and money going out.

Your own categories

Create the categories that match your life: rent, groceries, fuel, eating out, gifts, side income and so on. Keep separate category lists for income and for expenses, and rename or add to them at any time.

Filter by type and date

Show income, expenses or both, for any date range. The list opens on the current month by default, so you can see this month's spending at a glance. Search and sort the list to find a payment quickly.

Totals in your currency

The total for whatever you are viewing is shown at the bottom of the list, in your own currency. Pick last month and "Expenses" to see what you spent, or filter to one category to see what eating out really costs you.

Private and available anywhere

Your entries are visible only to you. Private Journal Pro runs in your web browser, so you can add a receipt from your phone in the shop and review the month on your laptop at home. Nothing to install.

Free to start

The free plan includes up to 40 entries, so you can try it properly before deciding whether you need Premium for unlimited entries. Deleted entries stay in the recycle bin for 30 days in case you change your mind.
