GharKharch - Expense Tracker

GharKharch: Clarity on Your Household SpendingGharKharch simplifies tracking shared expenses for everyone in your home. Log all spending within secure, invite-only groups to ensure transparency and a clear understanding of where collective money goes. Use your Google account for easy, secure access.

Simple Expense Tracking:
What it is: Easily log every rupee your household spends, from groceries to utility bills. Categorize spending using predefined categories to see exactly where the collective money is going within your shared groups.

Example: Dad buys groceries for ₹2500. He quickly logs it in GharKharch under the "Groceries" category within the "Family Expenses" group.

Invite-Based Group Sharing:
What it is: Create dedicated groups for any shared purpose (e.g., "Household Bills," "Monthly Groceries," "Vacation Fund"). Each group gets a unique invite code. Share this code securely with family members or housemates so they can join the group and collaboratively view and add expenses related to that shared budget.

Example: Mom creates a group called "Household Bills." She shares the unique invite code with Dad. Dad joins using the code. Now, both can log utility payments within this group, and both see the total spent on shared bills.

Insightful Group Statistics:
What it is: Get a clear view of spending habits within each group using simple charts and summaries based on the predefined categories. Understand monthly trends and see which categories account for the most spending for that specific shared budget or personal tracking group.

Example: At the end of the month, Mom and Dad review the statistics for the "Household Bills" group to see the total spent on utilities, broken down by category. Dad separately reviews the stats for his "My Commute" group.

Secure Google Account Login:
What it is: Each user securely logs in using their own Google Account. Access to expense data is controlled by group membership – you only see the expenses in groups you create or are invited to.

Example: Mom signs in with her Google account and sees the "Household Bills" and "Family Groceries" groups. Dad signs in with his Google account and sees the same shared groups, plus his private "My Commute" group.

Helpful Notifications:
What it is: Stay updated on activity within your shared groups. Notifications might inform you when a new expense is logged by another member in a group you belong to. (Note: Specific notification behavior depends on implementation).

Example: When Dad logs the internet bill in the "Household Bills" group, Mom might receive a notification alerting her that a new expense has been added.

Easy-to-Understand Home Dashboard:
What it is: When you open the app, get a quick overview of recent expenses across all the groups you are part of, providing an instant snapshot of relevant financial activity.

Example: Dad opens the app and sees a combined list showing the latest grocery expense from the "Family Groceries" group and his most recent fuel expense from his "My Commute" group.
