I originally built a simple expense tracker for myself using Apple's Shortcuts app on my iPhone. Whenever I spent money, I could quickly log the amount and category, and the shortcut would send the data directly to a Google Sheet. It worked surprisingly well, but over time I realized that managing finances through shortcuts and spreadsheets wasn't the best experience.
While working on that system, I came across a Devpost hackathon and started wondering: what if I turned this personal shortcut into a real application?
That's how NexSpend was born.
I began by rebuilding the idea as a full Flutter application with a proper backend, authentication, and database. As the project evolved, I wanted it to do more than simply record expenses. I added voice-powered expense entry so users could log expenses naturally, and then integrated AI to help users understand their spending habits rather than just collect data.
Today, NexSpend is an AI-powered financial copilot that combines expense tracking, spending analytics, voice input, and personalized financial insights in a single experience. Users can track expenses, visualize trends, ask questions about their spending, and receive intelligent recommendations based on their actual financial data.
What started as a simple iPhone shortcut connected to a spreadsheet evolved into a complete personal finance platform designed to help people make smarter financial decisions.
