A Personal Finance Tracker That Fits a Monthly Salary

If you earn a fixed monthly salary, the income side of your finances is already solved. The part that decides whether you save anything is the hundred small outflows between paydays: transport, food delivery, a subscription you forgot, a family expense, one larger purchase. None of them feel significant alone, which is why a month can end empty without a single obvious mistake.

Rupaira is designed for that reality. Adding an expense takes one screen and a few seconds, and you can speak it instead of typing — say "350 for lunch" and the amount and category are filled in for you. A tracker only works if it survives a busy Tuesday, so speed matters more than features.

No bank login, no account linking

Many budgeting apps require read access to your bank account before they show you anything. Plenty of people are not comfortable with that, and in many countries the connection breaks constantly anyway. Rupaira works from entries you add yourself or import from a CSV statement, so nothing is ever connected to your bank and your data stays isolated to your own account with row-level security.

See where the salary actually went

After a couple of weeks of entries, the analytics screen shows your spending by category and the month-on-month trend. This is where the useful decisions come from: the category that grew 40% without you noticing, the recurring charges that no longer earn their place, and the realistic amount you can move to savings on payday rather than hoping something is left at the end.

Separate side income from your paycheque

A lot of employees also earn something on the side — a weekend project, a small rental, an occasional freelance job. Every entry carries a personal or business tag, so you can read one screen two ways: what the household spent, and what a side income actually netted after its own costs. If that side work grows into real client work, the same account can track it as freelance income without starting over.

Works on the phone you already carry

The app is mobile-first: large touch targets, a single add button, and screens that load fast on a mid-range phone and a slow connection. There is nothing to install from a store and no paid tier to unlock the basics.
