The same book, on every device, without you carrying a file around.
The free edition solves the expense book. It does not solve the six things that need a computer which is awake when you are not. That is what the cloud version is, and this page is the whole plan for it — written down before it ships rather than after.
Six things, and every one of them needs a server.
Not a longer feature list — the same app, with the six limits of a single file removed.
Sync that you never think about
Add an expense on your phone at a counter; it is on your laptop before you sit down. Each device keeps working with no signal and reconciles when it has one, so a train tunnel costs you nothing.
Receipt photographs
Attach a picture to any expense. It is shrunk on the phone before it is sent, stored against the entry, and it stops taking up room in your camera roll.
Recurring expenses, posted for you
Rent on the first, the EMI on the fifth, three subscriptions scattered through the month. Set them once; they appear on the right day whether or not you opened the app.
An alert before the damage
A message when a category crosses 80% of its budget, and again when it crosses it entirely — on the day it happens, not in a report at the end of the month.
A monthly summary by email
On the first, a short note: what you spent, against what, which category moved most, and what the three months before looked like. Worth opening rather than filing.
One book, two people
A household spends together. Invite one other person, both of you add to the same book, and each entry remembers who made it.
Entirely on Cloudflare, which is why it can cost ₹149.
There is no always-on server to rent. Everything runs at the edge, only when a request arrives. This is not a detail for developers — it is the reason the price is what it is, and the reason your data sits in one place rather than five vendors.
| Piece | What it is | What it does here |
|---|---|---|
| The app | Cloudflare Pages | The same HTML you are using now, served from the edge. The offline behaviour does not change; it gains an account. |
| The API | Workers | Every read and write. Runs in the nearest city to you, starts in milliseconds, costs nothing when nobody is using it. |
| Your figures | D1 | A SQL database per account. Expenses, categories, budgets, settings — queryable, exportable, and small. |
| Receipts | R2 | Object storage for the photographs, with no charge for getting them back out. Served through signed links that expire. |
| Sessions | KV | Sign-in tokens, read fast from anywhere in the world. |
| Live sync | Durable Objects | One coordinator per book, so two devices editing at once never overwrite each other. |
| Alerts and email | Cron Triggers | A job that wakes on a schedule, checks budgets, posts recurring expenses and sends the monthly note. |
The parts we are not going to quietly take away.
The free edition stays free
It does not become a trial, it does not grow a sign-in screen, and it does not start needing an internet connection. It is a finished thing.
Offline still works
The cloud version is offline-first as well. The network makes your devices agree with each other; it is not required to add an expense.
Export still works
Spreadsheet, CSV and a full backup, from the account, any time. Cancelling should be a decision, not a hostage situation.
No adverts, ever
Nothing here is funded by watching what you spend. ₹149 is the whole business model.
No bank connection
We are not going to ask for your net banking credentials, and we are not going to read your SMS. Entries are typed. That is the trade and we are keeping it.
Your data leaves with you
Stop paying and the account goes read-only rather than dark. Export whatever you want, then ask us to delete it and we will.
In order, and honestly labelled.
| Stage | State | What lands |
|---|---|---|
| Now | Live | The free edition, on this site and as files. Desktop and phone, installable, offline, exporting. |
| Next | In build | Accounts and sign-in. Your book on the server, and the same book on any device you sign in from. |
| Then | Designed | Receipt photographs, and recurring expenses posting themselves. |
| After | Designed | Budget alerts and the monthly email. |
| Last | Planned | A shared household book, with two people on the same figures. |
The questions that ought to be asked.
Why should I trust you with this when the free one keeps it on my device?
You should not, automatically. The honest position is that the free edition is more private and the cloud version is more convenient, and that is a real trade with no clever answer. If privacy matters more to you than sync, stay on the free edition — it is not a lesser product and we are not going to cripple it to change your mind.
What happens to my figures if I stop paying?
The account goes read-only. You can still open it, read it and export everything. After that it sits there rather than being deleted on a timer, and if you want it gone you ask and it goes. You will get an email before anything changes, not after.
Is my data encrypted?
In transit, yes, always. At rest it sits in Cloudflare's storage with their encryption, which means Cloudflare and we could technically read it. We are not going to claim end-to-end encryption we have not built. If that is your bar, the free edition is the honest answer — there, nobody can read it because nobody has it.
Where is it hosted, and does that matter for India?
On Cloudflare's network, which serves from whichever city is nearest to you. If you have a specific data residency requirement, write and ask before you pay rather than after.
Can I move from the free edition without losing anything?
Yes, and that is a design requirement rather than a hope. The backup file the free edition writes is the same shape the account reads. Import it and your history is there.
Will the price go up?
Possibly, for new accounts. If you are already paying, you keep the price you started on for as long as you keep the subscription. That is the only sort of promise worth making here.
