Track your wealth
Gullak
A key ingredient for smart savings or wealth management is keeping an eye on your expenses. Unlike other expense managers, Gullak analyses your text messages automatically for all transactions, including withdrawals, deposits, shopping, pending bills and payments, etc, to make an expense report.

Its big draw is that it can differentiate between transactions originating from different accounts/cards, listing them accordingly. The UI is easy to follow, and it offers complete freedom to edit/create new categories of expenses as well as add cash transactions manually. The only concern is the privacy and security of users in giving away details about financial transactions to an app, especially when it will be sharing information to third-party apps and businesses. Still, it comes handy.
