Most budgeting apps fail because they require too many taps at exactly the moment you least want to think about money, right after spending it. An expense tracker shortcut for iPhone reduces logging to a five-second interaction: you tap, type the amount and category, and it's saved. Over a month you have a complete spending picture built from real-time captures, not reconstructed from memory.
Tap the shortcut and two quick prompts appear: the amount spent and the category (Food / Transport / Shopping / Entertainment / Other). The entry is appended to a running log in Apple Notes with the date, time, and merchant note if you add one. At the end of the month, the log is a plain-text record of every purchase, ready to copy into a spreadsheet or share with an accountant.
Go to getturin.com and describe your expense tracker (e.g., 'Log amount and category to a monthly expense note with date and time').
Turin builds the shortcut in seconds.
Tap 'Install' to add it to Apple Shortcuts, use it every time you spend.
Two quick prompts, amount and category, and the expense is saved with timestamp.
Your spending data stays in Apple Notes on your device, not on a third-party server.
A month of logs gives you a clear spending breakdown without any manual categorisation.
