Good questions
Tracking Expenses, Answered
Less typing, more seeing.
Is Lightning a free expense tracker for Egypt?
Yes. Lightning is free to download and use, and nothing is locked. After seven days it asks now and then for a one-time payment; you pay only when it is worth it to you. It tracks your spending in EGP across bank accounts, mobile wallets and cash, with no bank login and no account.
Do I have to type every expense?
No. Import your bank and wallet CSVs once a month and add only the cash you spent. When you do type a row, Lightning suggests the names you have used before. The Android beta can also read your bank SMS into review, where nothing posts until you say so.
How are expenses put into categories?
You decide once for each name. Tick “Use this category next time” and next month every row with that name sorts itself. Rules in Settings go further: by name, note, amount or account, they set the category, tags or split for you.
What about cash I spend?
Keep a cash wallet in Lightning and add what you spend from it. Card and wallet payments come in with your statements.
Do transfers count as spending?
No. Moving money between your own accounts, buying shares or gold, and money you hold for others are all left out of money out. Refunds are taken off.
Was this month unusual?
Expense analysis shows how each category moved against the months before, so a one-off repair or a holiday stands out.
Which banks does it work with?
Any bank or wallet that gives you a CSV. Mohab’s sample year has CIB, Vodafone Cash and THNDR files. How importing works.
