Finanova turns money tracking into something you actually keep doing. MEET NOVA Nova is your money assistant. Ask anything about your finances and get answers based on your real numbers, not generic advice. Better yet, just tell Nova what to do: "Add my gym membership, 400 monthly" "I spent 250 on groceries yesterday" "Add 500 to my holiday goal" Nova prepares it, you confirm with one tap, and it's saved. Nothing is ever changed without your approval. SCAN INSTEAD OF TYPE Point your camera at a receipt and Nova pulls out every item, price and category. It works with shop receipts, restaurant bills, payment SMS notifications and account statements. You can also share a screenshot straight from another app and review it before saving. BUDGETS THAT MAKE SENSE Set a monthly budget and split it across categories the way you actually live. Watch each category fill up and get warned before you go over, not after. GOALS YOU REACH Save for a holiday, a laptop or an emergency fund. Track your progress, add money as you go, and mark it done when you get there. SUBSCRIPTIONS UNDER CONTROL Add monthly or yearly subscriptions and see what they really cost you each month. Get a reminder the day before each renewal, so nothing charges you by surprise. REPORTS WORTH READING Every month you get a clear picture: where the money went, what changed since last month, your savings rate, your biggest single expense and the days you spent nothing at all.
