Spendo for Android

Your ledger as a native app: gestures, sheets and haptics that feel like the phone’s own. Same account and the same entries as the web app.

What’s in this version

While a month is being written up, or Spendo is working out where you could cut, grey lines now hold the place where the words will appear, and the line above them says how it is going. Arriving at Insights no longer flashes a faded donut before it draws itself in, and stepping back a month there stays at the top of the screen instead of jumping down the list.

The app checks for a new version every time you open it and every hour in the background, and tells you with a notification that drops in at the top of the screen. Long sheets scroll back up instead of closing, and the note under the days of the month says plainly what happens to the 29th, 30th and 31st.

Earlier releases brought repeating payments on as many days as you like, a walkthrough that points at the real buttons, opening money kept by place (cash, UPI and card), Insights narrowed to one way of paying, updates that download and install inside the app, and everything the web app does: repeating entries, several entries in one line, your own categories, budgets, exporting to Excel and signing out of every device.

Installing it

  1. Download

    Tap the button above. If Chrome asks whether to keep the file, keep it.

  2. Let your browser install it

    Open the download. The first time, Android asks you to allow Chrome (or Files) to install apps. Turn it on for that one app; you can turn it off again afterwards.

  3. Install

    Tap Install. Play Protect may say it does not recognise the app, because it does not come from the Play Store: tap More details, then Install anyway.

  4. Sign in

    Open Spendo and sign in with the email you use on the web app. Everything you have recorded there appears.

Updates

A newer version installs the same way, straight over this one, and keeps everything on the phone. Every version is signed with the same key, and Android refuses an update signed with any other, which is what keeps a fake update off your phone.
