What Money Melon can do
There is more here than expense tracking, so it is grouped to help you find what you came for.
Log it fast
The easier it is to log, the more likely you keep going. There are several ways in.
Scan receipts and slips
Photograph a receipt or a transfer slip and AI breaks it into line items and suggests a category for each. Check it and confirm.

Scan receipts and slips
Photograph a receipt or a transfer slip and AI breaks it into line items and suggests a category for each. Check it and confirm.
1. Photograph the receipt
2. The app reads it
3. Check the line items
4. Review, then save the lot
- One receipt becomes several entries, not a single lump sum
- Categories are suggested from the item names, tap to confirm or change
- Add a discount and see the gross and the net before you save

Say what you spent and on what, and the app turns it into a transaction. No typing while you are in a hurry.
1. Hold and speak
2. Check what it heard
3. One sentence, two entries
- Say several things in one go and they come back as separate entries
- What you said stays on the card, so you can check it heard you right
- Voice and receipts land on the same screen and save together
Transaction templates

Transaction templates
Save the things you log over and over as templates. One tap creates the entry.
1. Keep what you pay for often
2. Tap it from the home screen
- One template holds the name, amount, category and account
- One tap saves it, with no form to fill in again
- Quick Add puts them on the home screen, so you never leave it
Built-in calculator

1. Do the maths in the app
2. Or right on the number pad
- Open it on its own from the shortcut
- Or put it on the number pad, so the total carries into the amount

Categories and tags
Build your own categories with icons and colours, then add tags to see totals that cut across categories.
1. Categories and sub-categories
2. Several tags on one entry
- Two levels deep, with an icon and a colour on every one
- Made too many? Merge them, or move the entries somewhere else before deleting
- One entry takes several tags, so a tag can cut across categories
Group transactions

Budgets by category
Set a budget per category and always see what is left, before you find out you went over.
1. Every budget on one screen
2. Know before you go over
- Every bar carries a tick for how far into the period today is: past the tick means spending too fast
- It projects where the period will end and what you can still spend per day to stay inside
- Budget by count instead of money, like no more than 8 delivery orders a month
Recurring entries
Rent, utilities, subscriptions: set them once and confirm them when they come due.

Recurring entries
Rent, utilities, subscriptions: set them once and confirm them when they come due.
1. Set it up once
2. Confirm it when it is due
- Repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, with a set number of rounds
- The app never records them for you, because some rounds are not actually paid, so the numbers stay true
- Skip a round you did not pay and the next one still arrives on schedule
Instalments
Record a payment plan and track how many periods are paid, how many remain, and what it costs you monthly.

- One calendar for everything with a due date: bills, recurring entries, card payments and instalments
- Remind you 2 days ahead on the free plan, up to 10 days on Premium

Expense summary
Income, expenses and balance, broken down by category and by account.
1. Where the money went
2. What made up that total
- Every category with its share, either main categories only or every sub-category opened up.
- Tap the total to see which single items cost the most, which days were heaviest, and the daily average.
- The per-transaction average tells you whether the problem is buying often or buying expensive, which are fixed differently.
Spending calendar
A month at a glance: which days were heavy, and how many days you spent nothing at all.

Spending calendar
A month at a glance: which days were heavy, and how many days you spent nothing at all.
1. Which days were heavy
2. What you paid for that day
- The intensity calendar sits on the home screen, so you see the shape of the month before tapping anything.
- Tap any day in the calendar to see its income, its expenses and every transaction on it.
- The free plan looks back 2 months; Premium covers every month.
Comparisons
Compare month to month, or category to category, to spot what grew when it should not have.

Comparisons
Compare month to month, or category to category, to spot what grew when it should not have.
1. How this month differs
2. Is this category unusually high
- This period against the last one, category by category, as a percentage, with anything brand new flagged.
- Follow a single category across periods: by day, by week, by month or by year.
- Sort by percentage change, by amount, or by name.
Totals by tag
See what everything under a tag adds up to: a trip, a project, a shared cost.
See how it looksHide the screens
Totals by tag
See what everything under a tag adds up to: a trip, a project, a shared cost.
1. What each thing cost you
2. Which tags are growing
- Answers what a category report cannot, because one trip's spending is scattered across many categories.
- The by-month tab is a rolling table, so you can see which tags are growing and which are fading.
- A transaction with several tags counts under each of them, so the grand total can read higher than reality. The app says so on the page.
More than income and expenses
The parts that show your whole financial position, not just what moved.
Savings goals
Set how much you want to save by when, then track how close you are.
See how it looksHide the screens
Savings goals
Set how much you want to save by when, then track how close you are.
1. Every goal on one page
2. One slot at a time until the grid fills
- What you save is held back from the spendable balance of a real account, not a number floating beside it.
- Or split a goal into slots and fill one at a time, picking whichever one you can manage today.
- The free plan holds 2 goals, counting both the open and the grid kind; Premium is unlimited.
Gold savings
Record the gold you hold so you can compare your cost against the current market price.
See how it looksHide the screens
Gold savings
Record the gold you hold so you can compare your cost against the current market price.
1. What the gold is worth now
2. The real gain once labor cost comes off
- Labor cost is kept apart from the gold price itself, so the cost your return is measured against is what you really paid.
- You can choose not to log it as an expense, because buying gold moves money rather than spends it.
- The free plan holds 2 entries; Premium is unlimited.
Stocks and investments
Record the stocks you hold to follow their value and your gains or losses.
See how it looksHide the screens
Stocks and investments
Record the stocks you hold to follow their value and your gains or losses.
1. The whole portfolio at once
2. Where this one stands
- Thai stocks, foreign stocks and ETFs in one portfolio, instead of three apps and a calculator.
- Log a further purchase and the average cost is recalculated; log a sale and it reports the gain you actually took.
- It does not connect to your broker, so entries are yours to keep current, and the free plan holds 2 of them.
Loans and split bills
Track who owes you, who you owe, and split a bill with friends inside the app.

Loans and split bills
Track who owes you, who you owe, and split a bill with friends inside the app.
1. Who owes you what
2. Pay for the table without forgetting who owes
- Borrowed and lent stay clearly apart, each tied to a person, with repayments logged one at a time and a full history.
- Add interest, set a due date, and the loan turns up in the seven-day due section on the home screen.
- Split a bill once and you get your own share as an expense plus a separate loan for each friend.
Net worth
Roll everything into one figure so you can see which way your overall position is moving.

Net worth
Roll everything into one figure so you can see which way your overall position is moving.
1. What you hold today
2. What is left once debt comes off
- Built from what you have already recorded, with nothing to re-enter: accounts, gold, stocks and money you have lent out.
- The liabilities side gathers credit cards, instalment plans by type, and money you have borrowed.
- Only what is in the app counts, so a house, a plot of land or a fund you never recorded will not appear.

Multiple currencies
Hold accounts in different currencies together, converted using automatically updated exchange rates.
1. Two currencies, one book
2. The rates behind the conversion
- Set a currency per account. Anything outside the primary currency carries its code, so two currencies never read as the same amount.
- Book totals convert to the primary currency on their own, and a cross-currency transfer shows the converted amount on the receiving side.
- The rates are the latest reference rates the app could fetch, not the rate a bank or an exchange counter would actually give you.
Hide balances
Set any account or book you would rather not show to read as dots instead of figures. What you log stays on your device.

Hide balances
Set any account or book you would rather not show to read as dots instead of figures. What you log stays on your device.
1. Dots where the figures were
2. One switch per account
- Switch it on per account, and that balance reads as dots everywhere the account appears while the entries themselves stay readable.
- A whole book can be hidden too, for the one you would rather not have showing a total when you open the app.
- You can also keep an account out of the total balance without touching the figure it holds.
Notes
Keep money-related reminders in the same app instead of a separate notes app.

- Two icon frame styles, your language, and which day the calendar week starts on.
- Four app icons for your home screen. That one is a Premium feature, and the app restarts after the change.
