Log an expense the way you'd say it out loud
The Flosyfeen home screen isn't a dashboard full of numbers. It's one conversation: you say "spent 120 on coffee" and the amount, category and date are read out of that sentence.
What's actually on the home screen
This is the first screen you land on. A text box, a mic button beside it, your most recent expenses underneath, and a streak counter. No category dropdown to open, no form to fill in.
As soon as an expense is saved it appears in the recent list with its category and amount. If the category came out wrong, tap the expense to edit or delete it right there — a correction takes a couple of seconds.
Why Egyptian Arabic matters here
Most expense apps assume you'll type a Latin numeral and pick a category from a list. This one is built around how people actually talk: Arabic-Indic digits (١٢٠) as well as Latin ones, amounts spelled out in words, and Arabic and English mixed in the same sentence — "صرفت 90 delivery".
Dates are understood in words too. "Yesterday", "the day before yesterday", "last Friday" are resolved to a real date before the expense is saved, so it lands on the day it happened rather than the day you got around to typing it.
And when a category comes out wrong, your correction is saved with the expense. The whole point is that logging stays faster than opening a spreadsheet.
Where a logged expense goes next
Everything you log here shows up in the Expenses history, sorted by date and category, and at the same time it is counted against your monthly Budget according to its type — needs, wants or savings.
If it's something that repeats every month — internet, a subscription, the gym — it belongs in Subscriptions and recurring payments instead, entered once, so the app is the thing that remembers the due date rather than you.
The streak on the same screen isn't a punishment mechanic. It's a counter that keeps you logging: log at least one expense every three days and it stays alive.
Who this screen is for
Anyone who spends more in cash or a mobile wallet than on a card — which is most people in Egypt. When half your spending never touches a statement, no app can import it for you; someone has to say it, and saying it has to be fast.
- People making lots of small purchases a day who will never open a spreadsheet.
- Households where more than one person spends and the numbers stop adding up by month's end.
- Anyone who tried a budgeting app before and abandoned it two weeks in because logging was heavy.
- People who would rather talk to their apps in Arabic than translate in their head first.
What the home screen does not do
Being straight about this matters more than the pitch, so you know what you're using:
- Flosyfeen is not a bank or a payment wallet — no money moves through it or is stored in it.
- It never asks for your online-banking username, password, card number or OTP.
- It does not pull transactions out of any account on its own — you tell it what you spent.
- It needs an internet connection while you log, because the sentence is understood on the server, not on the phone.
- It is not accounting or invoicing software for a company; it's personal and household expense tracking and budget planning.
- It runs in the browser as a web app (PWA) — you can add it to your home screen without a store download.
Questions people ask about logging
Can I log an expense without picking a category?
Yes. The category is inferred from your sentence. If it comes out wrong you can change it from the expense's own menu.
Does it understand Arabic-Indic numerals like ١٢٠?
Yes — Arabic-Indic and Latin digits both work, as do amounts spelled out in words.
Can I log an expense with an older date?
Yes. Say "yesterday" or "last Friday" in the same sentence and the expense is saved on that date.
Can I use it entirely in English?
Yes. The interface and the logging both work in Arabic and English, and you can switch language in Settings at any time.
Do I have to install it from an app store?
No. Flosyfeen is a web app that opens in the browser, and you can add it to your phone's home screen in one tap.
