Unharam is a halal-first personal finance app. Track your money, plan your spending, and keep your finances clean β€” wherever you are. β€’ See your money clearly β€” spending overview, monthly activity, and budgets ("Plans") that flag overspend early. β€’ Find the right card β€” the UAE credit card finder ranks cards from UAE issuers against your salary and real spending, with an estimated monthly reward. Halal mode boosts Islamic cards in the ranking β€” it never hides anything, and every card shows when it was last verified against the issuer's own page. More markets are coming. β€’ Zakat, built in β€” a clean zakat calculator that follows the nisab. β€’ Ask Unharam β€” an AI assistant that answers questions about your own spending and helps you act on them. Privacy first: no bank logins, ever. You add your own data, and you can delete your account and data at any time from Settings. Unharam is an informational budgeting tool, not a bank, lender, or financial advisor. Card details can change β€” always confirm on the issuer's official page (linked in the app) before applying. Zakat figures are estimates; consult a qualified scholar for rulings.
