Spot it
See where your money goes, without the shame spiral
A spending tracker app should do two things well: make patterns obvious, and help you act on them. 118M8 is designed for everyday decisions, not perfect budgets.
- ✓ Weekly, monthly, and yearly views to spot trends
- ✓ Top merchants and categories, by spend and frequency
- ✓ Simple comparisons that show what changed vs the previous period
Spending insights are currently available for 118 118 Money credit card customers. More connections are planned.
The part most spending tracker apps miss: checkout
You don't need more spreadsheets. You need a tiny pause when you're about to tap "Pay". 118M8 adds three quick tools you can use in under a minute.
Wait
Convert price to hours worked
Type the price. Pick your earnings. 118M8 shows what it costs in time. If it's worth your time, buy it. If not, don't.
It's simple maths, not financial advice.
Sleep on it
24-hour reminder before you buy
Set a reminder and come back tomorrow. If you still want it, fine. If you don't, you just saved money and time.
A calm way to stop late-night impulse buys.
Number Generator
A neutral pause for pressure moments
A quick game that breaks autopilot and gives you space to choose: Buy, Don't Buy, or Sleep on it.
The game never moves money. You decide.
Clock it
Try the hours-worked check
If you've been searching for a spending tracker app in the UK, this is the simplest habit to start: translate the price into time, then decide.
Practical tip: Use the hours check for "small" spends too. Ten £7 decisions add up faster than one £70 decision.
