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.
