SMART CATEGORIES THAT LEARN Start typing a merchant and RinggitWise suggests the category — 250+ Malaysian merchant names recognised, from Petronas and 99 Speedmart to kopitiam, pasar, and e-wallet reloads. Correct it once and it remembers that shop for next time. Need a category we don't have? Create your own, with your own name and icon, in English and Bahasa Malaysia. SPENDING INSIGHTS See what actually changed each month, per category, in plain language — "you spent 32% less on makan luar than last month." Calculated on your phone from your own transactions. FRUGAL STREAKS Every day you keep spending under your daily budget allowance builds a streak, with badges at 7, 14, 30, 60, and 90 days.

Log what you spend in RM in two taps, see where your money goes, and keep your data on your own phone — no sign-up, no account. DOUBLE-TAP TO LOG ANY PAYMENT • Just paid? On the payment receipt or transaction screen, double-tap the back of your iPhone. AI reads the amount, payee and date and logs it — no typing. • Works with Malaysian e-wallets (Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, Setel, BigPay), DuitNow QR and DuitNow Transfer, bank apps (Maybank MAE, CIMB OCTO, Public Bank, RHB, Hong Leong and more), card payment screens and e-receipts. • One-tap setup inside the app. Prefer typing? A fast keypad, tappable categories and Siri (“Hey Siri, log expense in RichAuntie”). BUILT FOR HOW MALAYSIANS SPEND • Sub-categories out of the box: Food › Mamak, Hawker & Kopitiam, Groceries, Coffee & Drinks, Food Delivery. Transport › Petrol, Grab / e-hailing, Toll, Parking, LRT / MRT / Bus. Home › Rent, Electricity, Water, Internet. Add or rename your own. • All your money in one place: add any Malaysian bank (Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, RHB, Hong Leong, GXBank and more) or e-wallet (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, ShopeePay, Boost, MAE), enter the balance, and see your net worth. Credit cards too. • Amounts in Malaysian Ringgit (RM), calculated to the exact sen. REPORTS THAT EXPLAIN YOUR MONTH • Spending vs income trend: a 6- or 12-month line chart shows the months you overspent. • Category breakdown with a sub-category split, daily spending chart, biggest expense and month-on-month comparison. • Filter by note: tap “Grab”, “Shopee” or “Teh tarik” to see every matching entry and how much it really costs you. BUDGET & PLAN • Monthly budget plus per-category budgets, with a gentle warning before you overspend. • Recurring bills and subscriptions fill in automatically each month. SCAN AND IMPORT (PRO) • Snap a receipt and AI fills in the amount, date, merchant and category. • Import a bank or credit card statement (CSV, PDF or screenshot).
