Live on WhatsApp Now on Telegram too

Hi, I'm Lara.
Let's talk money.

I'm a personal expense companion that lives in WhatsApp and Telegram. Tell me what you spent — I'll categorise it, track your budget, and send you a weekly recap. No new app. No spreadsheet. Just a conversation.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. No spreadsheets.

Most users are tracking within two minutes. The only thing you do is open a chat. Lara handles the rest.
STEP 01

Say hello

Tap the button — WhatsApp or Telegram opens with Lara waiting. She asks two things: your currency and your monthly budget. That's onboarding.

👋 "Hi, I'm Lara!"
STEP 02

Tell her what you spent

Type it like you would to a friend. "Lunch 25", "rent 850", "coffee 5". Send three in one message if you want. She handles the categorisation.

"spent 12 on lunch"
STEP 03

Ask anything, anytime

How much on dining this month? Am I over budget? Lara answers instantly. Sunday she sends a weekly recap. The 1st of the month, a monthly review.

"how much this month?"
FROM THE BUILDER

I built Lara for myself because every expense app I tried felt like a chore. Download something, get through setup, lose interest by week three, repeat next year. Lara works because it lives where I already am — and because it took six weeks with Claude Code to ship the whole thing.
