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.
Tap the button — WhatsApp or Telegram opens with Lara waiting. She asks two things: your currency and your monthly budget. That's onboarding.
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.
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.
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.
Lara never reads your bank account or scrapes your statements. You tell her what you want her to know — and you can ask her to forget any of it, anytime.
Messages travel through WhatsApp's own encryption. We process them only to log what you sent, then move on.
Export everything as PDF or Excel anytime. Send "delete my data" and Lara wipes it from the database — no questions.
Lara makes money from subscriptions, full stop. Your spending habits are not products for sale. Ever.
Built solo. Every privacy question goes to support@larabot.co and is answered personally.
Start free, no card required. Upgrade only if and when Lara becomes essential.
For partners, families, or someone managing expenses for others. One subscription, one shared dataset. Each person logs from their own phone (WhatsApp or Telegram); Lara aggregates everyone's spending into one budget view. Includes all Pro features.
