What it covers

Good questions
All-in-One Tracker, Answered
What people in Egypt ask before they trust one app with it all.
Is there one app that tracks net worth, budget and expenses together in Egypt?
Yes. Lightning keeps one ledger and reads three things from it: your net worth across bank accounts, wallets, cash, gold, certificates, shares and dollars; a monthly budget by category; and your expenses by category and month. Nothing is typed twice, so the three always agree. It is free and runs on Windows and Android.
Does it need my bank login?
No. You download a CSV statement from your bank or wallet, match its columns once and review each row before it is saved. The Android app can also read bank SMS into the same review. Your data stays in an encrypted profile on your own devices.
How does the budget connect to my spending?
Every transaction you import lands in a category. The budget plans each category, and the same transactions show what is spent and left. The October plan is 38,428 EGP, with 3,410 spent and 35,018 left.
