Arus
Turn everyday WhatsApp messages into a clearer picture of your money.
THE CONTEXT
What the work connects.
Small purchases and income are easy to forget when recording them means opening another app. Arus starts in WhatsApp, where a short message can become a useful financial record.
- Built for
- People who want to record everyday money movements through WhatsApp
- My contribution
- I built the WhatsApp transaction workflow, AI-assisted receipt reading, and a private web dashboard for reviewing cash flow, categories, and transaction history.
HOW IT WORKS
From one step to the next.
- 01
Send
Describe a transaction or share a receipt
- 02
Record
Save clear details and resolve questions
- 03
Correct
Reply to a saved transaction when needed
- 04
Review
Ask for a report or open the private dashboard
Clear new transactions are saved with their details and category; uncertain information prompts a question. Users can correct a saved entry by replying to its acknowledgement, ask for a report in chat, or review records and export CSV from the dashboard. Each invited account has its own financial records.
THE RESULT
A working path through the task.
Arus connects daily messages to an organized personal ledger and reports calculated from saved transactions. The alpha website explains the workflow, invitation-based access, and independent VPS deployment. The preview shown here is the public landing page.
