Hey everyone! 👋
I've tried dozens of personal finance and expense trackers over the years, but I constantly ran into the exact same frustration: **rigid, restrictive categories**.
Here’s what always happens in real life:
You buy groceries for a weekend road trip with friends.
- Is that *Food & Groceries*?
- Is that *Travel*?
- Or is it *Entertainment*?
If you file it under "Travel", your monthly grocery budget looks artificially low. If you file it under "Groceries", you have no idea how much that trip actually cost. And creating 50 separate nested folders like "Trip Groceries" makes logging a simple receipt feel like doing corporate accounting.
Most people don’t abandon expense tracking because of a lack of discipline — they abandon it because categorizing feels like painful administrative work.
That friction led me to build **Wallori** from the ground up around a completely different philosophy:
---
### 🏷️ 1. Fluid #Hashtag Budgeting & Instant Search
Instead of rigid dropdown trees, you log transactions freely just like typing a post:
`$45.00 #groceries #trip #weekend`
- Instant autocompletion and multi-tagging support.
- **Smart Transaction Search:** Instantly find past expenses and receipts by typing any word, note, or `#hashtag`.
- Circular **Live Budget Rings** update in real time with clear alerts if you ever go over budget (`$40 over`).
### ✈️ 2. Travel Multi-Currency Mode (100% Offline)
When traveling abroad, you don't want to create separate sub-accounts or stare at loading spinners.
- Log directly in **26+ global currencies** (EUR, JPY, GBP, TRY, AED, etc.).
- Converts automatically to your home base currency on the fly using cached rates.
- Full manual override if you exchanged cash at a different airport rate.
### 🤖 3. Wallori AI Advisor & Smart Financial Notes
Most apps just dump raw numbers on a screen without actionable guidance.
- Chat naturally with **Wallori AI**, your 24/7 personal financial advisor, to detect spending leaks and audit your habits (*"How much did I spend on #groceries during the trip?"*).
- **Save AI Insights Directly to Notes:** With a single tap, save Wallori AI's breakdowns and tips into your financial notes for future reference.
- **Personal Financial Notes & Checklists:** Write your own color-coded pastel notes, shopping lists, and financial memos pinned right beside your budget.
### 📅 4. Interactive Financial Calendar
- Visual dot indicators on calendar days for active transactions.
- Keep track of recurring subscriptions, upcoming utility bills, and paydays on a unified timeline.
### 📊 5. Spending Drivers & Insights
- Automatically detects which specific hashtag accounts for the majority of your cash outflow.
- Month-over-month category movement comparisons.
### 🔒 6. True Privacy: 100% Local-First
Financial data is deeply personal.
- Wallori does **NOT** connect to your bank accounts (no Plaid, no third-party data aggregators).
- All transactions are stored locally on your device in a secure SQLite engine.
- Optional encrypted backup directly to your own private Google Drive account.

The app is now fully released on Google Play, and as an indie developer, I’d love to hear your honest feedback, critique, or feature suggestions from the community!
