Toshl is an expense tracker with a twist. With Toshl, you can easily track spending on your Android or Nokia Maemo phone. We plan to launch an iPhone app soon. Entering expenses is easy and streamlined, but it’s also incredibly versatile because it uses tags instead of predefined categories. But while collecting data is best done on the go, visualising, understanding and exporting your expenses is much more handy and comfortable on your computer.
Sync with the Web, have fun with your data
That’s why you can sync with the Toshl.com web service that helps you analyse and visualise the data. You can compare different types of expenses, see how they change through time and even toss around balls representing your expenses to release the tension. Toshl makes you see your expenses in a brand new light, pointing out where you spend too much and helping you save money. Understanding your finances has never been this fun.

Export & Backup
Tosh.com enables you to export the data into a plethora of different formats (CSV, Excel, PDF and Google Docs) and can also send automated expense reports each month to your e-mail. It protects you from data loss as well, because it keeps a secure backup of your expenses.
