Expense Tracking
Expense tracking
Cash, one-off purchases, and card charges hide true spending unless every outflow is captured. ClearMint Essentials is a expense tracker built into a privacy-first personal finance dashboard.
What problem it solves
Cash, one-off purchases, and card charges hide true spending unless every outflow is captured.
Who it is for
Budget-conscious individuals and families building spending awareness.
Why it is different
Expenses connect to budgets with pace markers and to the cash-flow forecast — overspending shows in context, not just as a red cell.
How it works
Step by step
- Import card and bank files or log cash expenses manually.
- Assign category, date, amount, payment account and notes.
- Mark recurring items; filter and sort like a spreadsheet.
Examples
Log a $40 cash coffee run, filter dining out for last month, export to CSV for your accountant.
