Premium unlocks unlimited AI coaching, receipt scanning, shared budgets, and more. 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.

NYS — Know Your Self One simple equation runs your whole month: Income − Fixed − Variable = what you can save. Most trackers only tell you what you already spent. NYS tells you what you can still spend — today. TODAY'S NUMBER • "You can still spend RM47" — recalculated every day from what is actually left this month • Spending pace: on track, a little fast, or red line, with today's marker on the bar • Home-screen widget and a one-tap shortcut to log an expense in three seconds YOUR MONTH, AT A GLANCE • Fixed costs set once, added automatically every month, with due-date reminders • Monthly caps per category and an instant warning the moment you cross one • Charts by category plus a six-month income-vs-expense trend • Twelve-month savings view, savings goal with an estimated finish date • Malaysian income tiers (B1 to T2) — see where this month lands and how far the next band is • Rent vs buy calculator LIFE TOOLS, BUILT IN • What to eat — dishes that fit today's food budget, plus nearby eateries with typical prices (data from OpenStreetMap) • Health — log weight and height for a BMI band on Asian cutoffs, a daily calorie range matched to how active you actually are, and a simple wellness score; estimate calories from a photo of your meal • Cycle tracking — log period start dates and see your average cycle length • Family — due date and pregnancy week, plus each child's growth log, vaccination record and milestone notes • Travel — trip budget with a reality check, live exchange rates, an AI day-by-day itinerary that stays inside your budget, and a pre-trip checklist • AI money coach — three specific tips read from your own numbers, plus a chat helper for cooking and saving questions • Receipt scanning — the total is read on your device and the photo is kept as your record BUILT FOR MALAYSIA Categories that match real life here — F&B, Grab, Toll & TNG, Petrol, PTPTN, Angpau, Takaful — and EPF handled inside the savings equation. Ringgit first, with English, Chinese and Bahasa Melayu throughout. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No ads. No tracking. Your ledger, your receipts and your health data live on your device. AI features are opt-in and stay off until you turn them on. When you do, only anonymous totals are sent — never your notes, names or account details. Food photos are sent only with a separate consent and are discarded after analysis. Location is used only while you are looking for nearby food. AI suggestions and price estimates are for general guidance only, and are not professional financial or medical advice.
