Problem:

Many people struggle to save money regularly or keep track of small daily expenses. Existing apps are too complicated or not personalized. Solution:

FinSave helps users automatically save small amounts based on their spending habits and track their daily expenses in real-time, offering simple tips and alerts to improve financial health. The app will connect to a user's bank account (or use mock data) and allow:

Auto-savings: Round-up spare change from purchases and save it.

Smart tracking: Categorize expenses automatically.

Savings tips: Recommend small actions (e.g., "Skip a coffee, save $5").

Features:

✅ Connect bank account (mock for hackathon) ✅ Round-up spare change and save ✅ Categorize and visualize expenses ✅ Send savings notifications/tips ✅ Simple and beautiful dashboard Target Users:

Young adults, students, anyone trying to build better money habits without complex tools.
