Expense tracking
Your salary is not disappearing. It is leaving in small amounts you never decided on.
Rent and EMIs are visible, and you planned for them. The money that surprises you is the money you never see leave: a mandate set up once, a subscription you stopped using, a loan priced above market. Each one is small. Together they are the gap between what you earn and what you save.
See where mine goesWhy the last tracker you tried did not stick
Not discipline. Arithmetic. Manual logging asks for effort every day and pays out once a month, so it loses to everything else competing for those thirty seconds. Any of these will sound familiar:
- You have installed a tracking app before and stopped using it within a month
- You could not say, right now, what leaves your account every month without a decision from you
- Your estimate of what you spend is lower than your statement, every time you check
- You budget against what you earn rather than against what is already committed
What not seeing it costs
Not tracking is not neutral. You cannot act on a cost you cannot see, so each of these keeps running until something surfaces it.
Where does my salary actually go walks through finding all of it in one evening, with or without an app.
Track automatically, review monthly
Separate the recording from the reviewing. Recording should be invisible. Reviewing is the part worth twenty minutes a month.
Automatic spend capture
Reads bank SMS and emails to log every UPI, debit, and credit card transaction, no manual entry.
AI category breakdown
Food, rent, fuel, subscriptions, investments, split into precise buckets so you see where money leaks.
Predictive budget alerts
Forecasts next month's spend, flags subscription price hikes, and warns before you cross a budget cap.
Several Indian apps do automatic capture well - Walnut, Axio, Jupiter, Fi and MoneyView among them. An honest comparison of which suits whom. Unyfy is built around what you are losing rather than charting what you spent.
