Laffu: Smart Expense Tracker

Laffu: Smart Expense Tracker


Take control of your money with Laffu, a smart expense tracker and budget manager that automatically organizes supported bank transaction SMS messages.


Designed for UAE residents, Laffu helps you track expenses and income without connecting your bank account. Instead of entering transactions manually, Laffu reads supported bank SMS messages on your device and organizes them into a clear view of your finances.


Automatic expense tracking from bank SMS


Laffu detects supported financial transaction SMS messages and automatically records details such as:


• Amount
• Currency
• Merchant or vendor
• Transaction type
• Transaction date


Depending on your bank's SMS format, Laffu can recognize:

• Card purchases
• Online payments
• Incoming bank transfers
• Outgoing bank transfers
• ATM cash withdrawals
• Salary credits
• Credit card payments
• Refunds and reversals
• Other supported banking transactions


Built-in SMS app


Laffu includes a lightweight SMS app that lets you send, receive, and reply to SMS messages.


You can also set Laffu as your default SMS app to automatically organize supported bank transaction SMS messages while continuing to use SMS normally.


Understand your spending


See where your money goes with clear financial insights.


View transactions by:

• Category

Privacy designed into the app


Your financial data is processed on your device.


Laffu does not require online banking credentials or bank account linking to organize supported transaction SMS messages.


Support for UAE banks


Laffu is built with UAE banking in mind and continues to expand support for additional banks and SMS formats.


Because every bank formats SMS messages differently, supported transaction types may vary by bank.
