Masareefy helps you see where your money goes — using your voice. Tap the mic and say it like you'd say it to a friend: "fifty pounds on koshary, twenty on transport." Masareefy understands Egyptian Arabic, logs every item on its own, and shows you what it logged so you can check it. It's not just expenses — say "got my salary" and your income is logged too. Pay with Apple Pay, or get transaction texts from your bank? Switch it on once and every transaction logs itself, with a notification for each one. If something's off, tap it to edit or delete it. ■ Why Masareefy? • Voice-first, in Egyptian Arabic: no typing, no spreadsheets. Just talk. • Logs itself: Apple Pay payments and bank texts are logged without typing a thing. • Know what's left: set a monthly budget and see what's left and what you can spend a day. • See where it went: a colorful donut shows what went where — food, transport, groceries… • One book for home, one for work: each keeps its own money and budget, with its own photo. • Recurring on autopilot: rent, salary and subscriptions log themselves every month, and installments remind you the day before. • Flip your phone face-down to hide your numbers. • Works offline: log anytime; everything syncs when you're back online. • Fully bilingual: complete Arabic (right-to-left) and English. • A gentle 8 PM reminder if you forgot to log your day. ■ Your privacy is kept Voice clips are analyzed and deleted immediately — we never store recordings. Bank texts have personal details removed on your phone before they leave it. Your data is encrypted, you can lock the app with Face ID, and you can delete your account and all your data from inside the app at any time. Masareefy is free. An optional subscription renews automatically and can be cancelled anytime in your subscription settings.
