You have to wait until you get home to open your notebook or laptop. By then, you’ve usually forgotten that small ₱50 purchase.
Requires manual calculation. One wrong formula in Excel or a calculator typo means your entire budget is wrong for the month.
It’s just a list of numbers. To see "where your money went," you have to manually count categories or create your own charts.
If you lose your notebook, your data is gone forever. If you leave it on a coffee shop table, anyone can read your financial secrets.
Boring and tedious. It feels like homework or accounting work, which makes you want to stop doing it.
It’s always in your pocket. You can log an expense in 5 seconds while waiting in line at the cashier.
100% automated math. You just enter the amount, and the app instantly updates your total balance, savings, and daily average.
Visual dashboards. The app automatically creates pie charts and graphs so you can instantly see, "Oh, I spent 40% on Food this month."
Secure login. Even if you lose your phone, your data is safe behind your password/biometrics and can be restored on a new device.
Gamified and satisfying. Clean UI, "Dark Mode," and progress bars make building wealth feel like leveling up a character.
Your data is yours alone.
We use Google's Firebase infrastructure to ensure your data is securely authenticated and encrypted.
Lost your phone? Your financial data is safe and instantly accessible on your new device.
We do not sell your personal financial data to third parties.
