I was terrible at tracking my expenses.
To make it a habit, I used these apps that had access to my SMS messages to auto-track my expenses.
But, these apps also used my SMS permission to upsell me loans, insurance, and BNPL offers, sending me unsolicited messages.
It felt like these apps felt like a funnel for fintech companies to upsell me their other products.
Not to mention that, if these apps have access to your SMS messages, they can easily read your bank statements and steal OTPs.
Spreadsheets were awesome, but they become too manual & too tedious as you manage more expenses. And let's not mention the clunky UX of spreadsheets on mobile.
I just wanted a simple mobile app that lets me track expenses without any feature bloat or unsolicited upsells.
That's why I built RuTrack.
An Offline-First expense-tracking PWA that lets you log expenses manually, track category-wise spends, auto-log recurring subscriptions, set budget limits, and export reports.
No SMS Permissions needed. No ads. No upsells.
It's an app that does one thing, and it does that one thing really well: Manage Expenses.
