I built a tool to track how much i spend via mpesa and i am shocked!
It's really hard to bee financially disciplined in this age of mobile money,i mean back in the day we carried cash and the mere act of removing cash physically and paying for stuff made us kinda more disciplined in finances. Recently i have found myself always broke and not knowing where my money went, budgeting became harder and i have become a victim of impulse buying and 0 financial accountability. Being a solo indie app developer suffering from insomnia. I set out to build an app that can help me track how and what i spend on,and a 2 months ago i built shmoney, an app that listens to your mpesa transactions and helps you categorize your spending,it gives you actionable insights and like spending comparisons across months,transaction fees etc. It even allows you to track budgets and alerts you when you exceed them. On top of that the app has an AI feature that uses your aggregated costs,categories etc as context that you can chat with. its an app i am hoping will work for any kenyan that wants to take control of their spending. I hope the mods wont take this down,i dont mean to spam or unnecesarily self promote,i genuinely think this app can help people.If interested please download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shmoney.app
