One-Line Summary

A cross-platform expense tracking application focused on real-time budget awareness, featuring a frictionless manual entry experience, scheduled reminders, a native widget for quick access, and a web dashboard for spending analysis.

• Real-time budget awareness — shows how much is left to spend now, not after the month ends
• Manual-first by design — no unreliable SMS, UPI, or bank scraping
• Ultra-fast expense entry — optimized for sub-5-second logging
• Habit-driven UX — daily reminders and nudges to log spends consistently
• Home-screen widget — one-tap access with live budget snapshot
• Offline-first architecture — works without internet, syncs seamlessly
• Forward-looking insights — spend-rate and overspend warnings, not post-mortems
• Web dashboard for reflection — clean, read-optimized analytics
• Selective AI usage — only for category prediction and natural-language entry, not fake intelligence
• Privacy-first approach — user-entered data only, no invasive permissions
