Like many people here, I’ve started a lot of projects before and abandoned them after a few weeks. Because of that, I still don’t have a single complete project I can properly showcase.

About a month ago, I decided to seriously build one idea instead of constantly switching projects.

Right now, I already have:

• rough backend setup
• SMS parsing implemented
• transaction extraction logic working
• local database integration in progress

The app’s goal is basically:

• parse financial SMS messages
• extract transaction details automatically
• categorize and track expenses
• eventually become a privacy-focused personal finance tracker(FOSS)

Current stack:

• Android (Jetpack Compose)
• Kotlin
• Room
• planning FastAPI/backend integrations later

What I’m missing badly:

• UI/UX help(I'm very bad in it)
• frontend polish
• developers interested in contributing long-term in the team(not paid currently)

I’m not pretending this is some startup or huge thing yet. I just genuinely want to finally finish and ship a real project instead of abandoning another one halfway.

If you:

• want learn Android/Compose
• want to collaborate on an actual usable app
• or just enjoy building things

feel free to contact.

Even feedback on the idea/project direction is appreciated.
