Ah thanks for the suggestions. That's something I've been thinking about a bit, I think it's a pain to enter expenses all the time. How do you feel about an email reminder in place of a push notification?
My thinking with mobile push notifications would be you tap the notification and it takes you straight to a simple UI where you punch in the values.
It might be harder to reduce the friction as low as this with email notifications but it could work just as well. A simple link could work, or one step further is having a feature where you can specify expenditure and tags in the reply to an email in a certain format that's parsed by your app e.g:
$8, work, commuting
$4.50, lunch
(Values in example may seem low because I'm British but dollar/pound symbol is neither here nor there in this case!)
Ultimately I would love to do a mobile app and it really wouldn't be that difficult to build, I guess I just wanted to gauge interest before dedicating more time. That's a really interesting suggestion about the email reply, I'm going to think about that a bit more!

Email reminders could also work well.

I'd like to reply to my email with the expense and then tags on separate lines beneath it.
