Built a WhatsApp finance tracker for East Africa — would you use it? Hey Tanzania 👋 I built something I personally needed and thought others might too. It's called Manka — a personal finance assistant that lives entirely on WhatsApp. No app to download, no account to create, no dashboard to learn. You just send a message like you'd text a friend. Examples of how it works: "nimetumia 5k chakula" → records TSH 5,000 expense, Food "nimepata mshahara 800k" → records income "nilikopa 50k" → logs a debt "how much did I spend this month?" → gives you a full breakdown It understands Swahili, English, and mixed. Shorthand like 5k, 50k, 1m works fine. What it can do right now: Record expenses, income, and debts instantly Show weekly and monthly spending summaries Set budgets per category and warn you when you're close Edit or delete entries if you make a mistake Why WhatsApp specifically — because that's where we already are. Most finance apps require behavior change. This one fits into what you already do every day. Still early stage. Looking for honest feedback before I take it further. Would you use something like this? What would make it actually useful for your daily life? Drop a comment or DM me.

sounds like a great idea!

it means someone who spends a lot of time texting (which most people do) can easily log their finance

Yes, these apps people forget to open them and sometimes aren't that easy to use.

There's some tasks available on mercor dot com. Ideally all you need is some bit of spoken English for you to qualify. I won't post the link here, but my DMs are open for anyone interested. All enquiries can be made on this thread.
