Expense calendar widget
The Expense calendar widget shows a month grid coloured by daily spending. Tap a day to see its transactions. Free on the Lipi dashboard.
Problems it solves
- I cannot tell which days of the month I spend the most.
- I remember a big spend but not the date.
- A calendar is easier for me to read than a list.
What it is
The Expense calendar widget is a daily spending calendar on your dashboard. It draws the month as a grid and colours each day by how much you spent. It works like a spending heatmap, so heavy days stand out.
What problem it solves
Totals and charts hide the rhythm of your month. A calendar shows it: spending spikes right after salary, on weekends or around a festival. When you remember a big payment by date, the calendar gets you to the right day fast.
How it works
- On Home, choose Customize dashboard, Add widget, then Expense calendar.
- Use the month switcher in the header to move between months.
- Look for dark days. Tap a day to see the transactions on that date.
