Clean Cash
How do I add an expense in Clean Cash?
Just tap the big green plus button in the middle of the screen, type something like 'Lowe's - $45 for mulch,' pick a category like 'Patio Fund,' and you're done. It takes seconds and is designed to be as simple as possible.
Can I create my own spending categories?
Yes, you can create custom categories like 'Groceries,' 'House Stuff,' or 'Fun Money' instead of using generic ones. This helps you see exactly where your money is going, like whether you're overspending on takeout or on things you actually need.
My main balance numbers sometimes disappear after I add an expense. What should I do?
This is a known bug that appeared after a recent update. Try restarting the app or checking for an update in your app store, and if it persists, contact their support through the 'Help' section in the app.
How does the goal tracker work?
You can set a savings goal, like $1500 for patio furniture, and every time you log a purchase without touching that goal money, the progress bar fills up a bit more. It gives you a real sense of accomplishment as you watch your savings grow.
How does Clean Cash compare to other budget apps like Mint or YNAB?
Clean Cash is much simpler and more straightforward than apps like Mint or YNAB, which can feel overwhelming with hundreds of buttons and graphs. It shows you just your recent spending and how much you have left for the month, like a checkbook register on your phone, making it ideal for people who don't want a complex accounting tool.
