Overview:
When you're first starting out, managing your finances can be quite daunting. You're in charge one month, and then you dont know where it all went. Cashlet is built for this stage making it easy to log expenses, see where money goes, and set small savings goals. No clutter, no costly subscriptions just a clear, supportive way to build healthy money habits.

 

Gaps in Current Solutions:
Most finance apps are too complex, geared toward seasoned investors, or lock basics behind paywalls. They assume steady income, strong financial knowledge, and constant internet access. For students or young professionals, that rarely fits. This tracker keeps things simple, affordable, and beginner-friendly focused on clarity, not confusion.

 

Who Benefits:

  • Students & young adults: Gain control over spending without stress.

  • Freelancers & early professionals: Flexible for irregular incomes.

  • Parents: A practical way for kids to learn money habits.

  • Side hustlers: Lightweight expense tracking without heavy software.

 

Why This Matters to Me:
I’ve seen friends and myself struggle with money simply because we couldn’t track our transactions clearly. It doesn’t have to be that hard. This tracker makes money management approachable, helping young adults save, spend smarter, and feel more in control.

 

Technical Details:

  • Core Features: Quick expense entry, optional SMS-based tracking, simple categories.

  • Savings Goals: Easy targets like an emergency fund or a trip.

  • Visual Insights: Clear, beginner-friendly charts.

  • Smart Reminders: Gentle alerts when budgets are close.

  • Offline-first: Works without internet, syncs later.

  • Privacy & Affordability: Data stays local; free core version with low-cost extras.
