Expense calendar
See your spending day by day on a month grid in Lipi. Busy days stand out, and tapping a day opens its transactions. Free, in English and Nepali.
Problems it solves
- I cannot tell which days of the month I overspend.
- A list of transactions hides patterns, like heavy spending on weekends or salary day.
- I want to jump to one day's spending without scrolling.
What it is
The expense calendar is a dashboard widget that shows one month as a grid. Each day carries a mark and a short amount, and busier days get a stronger colour. It works as a daily spending heatmap. It is free for every account.
What problem it solves
A list of transactions is good for detail but poor for patterns. On a calendar you see at once that the first week is heavy, that weekends cost more, or that one day took a third of your month. Then you can open that day and see why.
How it works
- Open Home and find the Expense calendar card. If it is not there, add it from Customize on a larger screen.
- Use the arrows next to the month name to move to other months. Future days are greyed out.
- Tap a day. Lipi opens Transactions filtered to that day.
- To change how it looks, open Customize, tap the gear on the card, and set Week start, Show amounts and Show currency.
On a phone the card fits the screen width.
