About

SMAFlow

Features
Read full description

SMAFlow is an accounting application designed to manage your personal financial landscape. It features five distinct sections for handling individual ledgers, daily income and expenses, local searches, consolidated statistics, and encrypted backups. Each ledger maintains its own unique data, accounts, categories, and lock status; when a ledger is locked, its financial figures are hidden and excluded from aggregate statistics. Users can record income, expenses, transfers, and refunds, as well as split expenses across different categories. The app provides visual insights through bar charts for income and expenditure, pie charts for category distribution, and line charts for tracking balance trends—with the ability to drill down from these statistics to the underlying transaction records. The application supports search, filtering, and data import via spreadsheets, with separate summaries for different currencies. Backups are stored as standalone recovery files; upon verification of the database and attachments, they can be restored as new ledgers while preserving the original transaction history. The app’s architecture is organized by function, ensuring both a clear, readable interface and robust privacy protection.

About

BTGCIV

Features
Read full description

BTGCIV is an application designed for managing income and expenses using natural language. It features a soft, grid-based card interface organized into four sections: Input, Verification, Ledger, and Statistics. Users can enter daily transactions in plain English; the app processes this text locally on the device to generate draft records for confirmation. By leveraging field-specific rules, an on-device classification model, and a personalized dictionary, the app identifies amounts, dates, categories, and accounts—while also handling complex scenarios such as shared expenses, transfers, refunds, discounts, and outstanding payments. Users can tap on any field to view the original source text, and manual confirmation is required whenever the app encounters ambiguity. Drafts retain the date and time zone from the moment of entry, ensuring that the intended meaning remains consistent even if the app is accessed on a different day. Once confirmed, records are saved as discrete transactions, preventing duplicate entries. The Ledger section supports manual entry, editing, deletion, account management, and the viewing of transaction receipts. The Statistics section visualizes income/expense structures and balance trends through bar charts, pie charts, and line graphs, with options to export ledger data and archives.
