An expense tracker for the UAE that reads your bank alerts
In the UAE, the easiest way to track spending automatically is from the transaction alerts your bank's app already sends for every card payment. An app that reads those alerts on your phone sorts each AED spend into a category, with no bank login and no account.

Set it up
- Turn on transaction alerts in your bank's app (Emirates NBD, ADCB, FAB, Mashreq and others).
- Give the tracker notification access on your Android phone.
- Set a monthly plan: rent, DEWA, phone and savings first. The rest becomes a daily number.
Where Savyit fits
Savyit reads the payment alerts your bank already sends to your Android phone (bank-app notifications everywhere; bank SMS and UPI alerts in India), so there's nothing to type and no bank login. It keeps amounts in AED, works with UAE banks' app notifications, and shows what's safe to spend today.
What it can't do
- Android only. There's no iPhone version.
- It only sees what your bank tells you. Turn on alerts for every transaction in your bank's app.
- Cash isn't in any alert. Add it with quick entry or the widget.
- No bank sync and no CSV import. It starts from new alerts (in India it can also scan recent bank SMS).
