Expense Tracking App with Budget Alerts

Abstract

The Expense Tracking App with Budget Alerts is a mobile application designed to help users manage their personal finances efficiently. Unlike traditional expense tracking apps that require manual entry of income, expenses, and budgets, this app automatically records transactions using UPI-based payments. When a user makes a payment, such as at a restaurant or store, the app detects the transaction and updates the expense data in real-time. The app also includes a budget alert system: users can set a monthly or weekly budget, and when spending reaches a certain threshold (e.g., 80 percent of the budget), a notification alert is triggered. This automatic tracking and alert system reduce manual effort, promotes financial discipline, and helps users monitor their spending habits effectively. The application is implemented using Android Studio with SQLite as the backend database for storing expense and budget information. Overall, this app provides a convenient, automated, and user-friendly solution for personal expense management.
