I have tried many things apps/excel/text file and after some time I give up.
The current solution I use for more than one year and I am happy. Works while travelling (currency support) but it needs internet.
To solve personal finance control I made myself a bot (on telegram).
Works on anything web/desktop/mobile and that is just text. I think about it as my accountant.
I send him
>Beer 4 ( meaning I spent 4 on beer)
>wine 6 EUR ( meaning I spent 6 EUR on wine)
If I want to group things in a category:
>Beer is drinks
>wine is drinks
Don't forget to first set the expense currency.
>config ExpenseCurrency USD - (this will be the default expense currency if you don't specify otherwhise)
If you want to export just write:
> export expense
You will receive an url that can be imported(as text) in excel and can be refreshed.
I use excel if I want explore/visualize.
I get a reminder/summary every day just to make sure I don't forget.
I have more commands
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x7iYpbXJHGyQQ4CxA1W6LgLr...
And more that I have not documented. Let me know if you need something.
It does not uses language understanding, behind it has a compiler so there is NO misunderstanding
If you try it let me know or contact https://twitter.com/cosmaioan
