ExpenseCat is similar to the well known built-in Expense (Kosten, Dépenses, Gastos in other languages).

Like the original, ExpenseCat is unbeaten in comfort and fastness when entering an expense or income, but has removed the restrictions of the built-in Expense and introduces new powerful features.

With ExpenseCat you can track each expense or income in up to four different categories.

Comfortable:

For most of your expenses or incomes you will just start ExpenseCat, write the amount and the first one or two letters of the Expense-Type and you can close your handheld already.

ExpenseCat has stored for you the actual date, the default currency and has assigned the expense or income to the predefined categories of this Expense-Type.

Let me give you an example:

Let's say for a company trip you have payed a flight ticket with American Express Card for 580 US$.

You open ExpenseCat, write "580" and "f" and it's done.

• ExpenseCat has picked the actual date and the default currency
  (which can be set by you).
• ExpenseCat has assigned your record to the Expense-Type "Flight AMEX" (entered by the first letter "f")
• ExpenseCat has assigned your input to (later from you) predefined categories of this Expense-Type. In this example "AMEX Statement" and "Company Expense".

Powerful:

• Changes in the main screen:
  In the main screen the date, type, amount and currency can be changed directly.
• Details-Dialog:
  Aditionally in the Details-Dialog the up to four categories and their checked-status can be seen and changed.
• Tracking the expense or income:
  If you select a category all records which are assigned to this category will be shown. By hooking, records can be marked as checked. ExpenseCat stores automatically the date of checking.
  In the "Example-Records" you can f.i. select the category "Company Expense" when writing the expense list for your company. The other day, when you receive your AMEX-Statement, you can easily compare the expenses with selecting the category "AMEX Statement". 
• Display only the unchecked records:
  “Checked” expenses or incomes can be hidden automatically, you see only the unchecked ones.
• Sorting:
  ExpenseCat lets you sort the expenses by date, type, and amount by tapping on the head of the list. ExpenseCat has also a second sort order, which is the previous selected sort order and displayed by a dotted arrow.

Save:

On every HotSync ExpenseCat backups your data and in case of an empty battery or a new handheld, the data is fully restored.
