Bol Kharch: Spend Tracker

Bol Kharch is an expense tracker and budget planner built for everyday spending in India. Log a purchase in about a second, set a monthly budget, and see exactly where the money went.

No account. No bank login. Everything stays on your phone.

— Speak instead of typing —

Tap the mic and say the spend the way you would say it out loud. Budget Buddy understands English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Punjabi and Marathi, including mixed sentences.

"Spent 500 on lunch"
"पांच सौ रुपये खाने पर खर्च"
"1200 kirana kharcha"

It pulls out the amount, picks the category and files it. It also knows the shops and services you actually use, so a spend at Zomato lands in Food & Dining and one at Blinkit lands in Grocery.

— Common questions —

Does it need an internet connection?
No. Adding, editing and viewing entries all work with data switched off. Only voice recognition and ads use the network.

Do I have to connect a bank account?
No. There is no bank linking and no SMS reading. You decide what gets tracked.

Can I use it in Hindi?
Yes. Voice entry works in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Punjabi, Marathi and English, and the interface follows your phone language.

Is there a limit on how many entries I can add?
No. Add as many transactions, categories and budgets as you need.

What happens to my records if I uninstall?
They live on the device, so export a PDF or CSV backup before removing the app.
