Financius is a lightweight expense manager for Android

Keeping track of all your expenses can be quite the difficult -- but also rewarding -- task. While you can do it the old fashioned way, by keeping all recipes and do the accounting at home, modern gadgets and apps have opened up additional options that may provide you with better options.
While it is still necessary to enter the data, apps like Financius for Android may provide you with statistics and overviews that you would have a hard time generating on paper.
The free application for Android is an expense manager that enables you to keep track of incoming money and expenses, so that you always know the balance of all of your accounts, and also where the money went to in a given time period.
Financius for Android
The application itself is really easy to use. You can start by adding a balance to your account, or multiple ones for instance bank account and cash, and use it from that time on to record expenses and income.
New transactions can be added with just a few taps on the screen. You do need to enter the money that you spend obviously, and may also need to change the time and date. Everything else is optional, including the selection of a category, e.g. food or leisure, the account it was paid from, a note, and whether the payment has been confirmed and should be included in the report.
You are free to add, edit or delete categories to customize the available selection. The app ships with several categories and dozens of expense types by default, but you may want to add your own in case those are not supported by it by default.
The main reason why it makes sense to do so is that the categories are used by the apps' reporting module. Here you find out how much you have spend in each expense group, which may help you optimize your expenses in future months and years.
Financius has a couple of other features that you may find interesting. You can back up the data to Google Drive or add expenses and accounts in different currencies.
There is room for improvement, no doubt about that. An option to scan receipts would come in very handy for example, as would an option to keep track of the expenses per person, so that it becomes clear how much other members of the family or business are spending.
Verdict
Financius is an ad-free expense manager for Android that is easy to use. While you still have to remember to enter the data whenever expenses are made or money is transferred, it may help you keep an overview over all of your income and expenses.

Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
