FinSum

FinSum is a personal finance manager designed to help Ethiopian users track their expenses automatically through transaction SMS analysis.

FinSum simplifies financial tracking by eliminating the need for manual data entry. The app functions by parsing transaction notification SMS messages from supported Ethiopian financial institutions to create an organized overview of your spending habits and budget status.

How FinSum Works: FinSum requires permission to access your SMS messages. This is a core functionality used solely to identify and extract transaction details (such as amount, date, and merchant) from bank-sent alerts. This data is processed locally on your device to build your financial dashboard.

Key Functional Features:

Automated Expense Logging: Automatically detects transaction alerts from banks including CBE, Telebirr, Dashen, Awash, and Bank of Abyssinia.

Budget Tools: Users can manually set monthly spending limits and receive alerts based on the automated tracking data.

Spending Analytics: Generates visual reports and charts based on your categorized transaction history.


Supported Financial Notifications: The app is optimized to recognize SMS formats from major Ethiopian providers, including CBE Birr, Telebirr, Coopay-Ebirr, and multiple commercial banks.
