🧠 Inspiration

Managing personal finances can be stressful. Most budgeting apps are either too complex or too boring. I wanted a simple, smart, and engaging tool that helps anyone track spending, set goals, and stay on top of finances. That’s how ProSpend was born.

💰 What it does

ProSpend helps users:

Track daily income and expenses

Monitor budgets, recurring payments, and subscriptions

Set financial goals and track progress

Visualize spending patterns with charts and analytics

Get AI-powered insights for smarter spending

Example budget calculation with LaTeX:

Remaining Budget

Monthly Budget − ∑

𝑖

1 𝑛 Expense 𝑖 Remaining Budget=Monthly Budget− i=1 ∑ n ​

Expense i ​

This updates dynamically to show users how much they have left for each category.
