Akiro - the expense tracker

This an expense tracker for iOS (and maybe later Android), written in React-Native.

The scope of this app is just entering your expenses as quickly and painlessly as possible. Processing of the entered data for reports, budgeting, etc. must be done by external software.

"Akiro" is Esperanto for "purchase".

Running the application

For running the iOS app, the React native CLI has to be installed. If it is installed, run

react-native run-ios
