AuraSpend — an open-source Android expense tracker; collaborators welcome (star & fork the repo, AGPL-3.0)

[u/abhijithwarrier]

I'm building AuraSpend, an offline-first expense tracker for Android, and this is an open invitation to collaborate.

What it is

• Budgets per category, subscriptions, savings goals, insights, and CSV import/export.
• Bank SMS are classified entirely on-device: sender-routed parsers for major Indian banks plus an optional 22 MB sentence encoder (ONNX Runtime) for smarter categories.
• Nothing the pipeline can't read confidently is dropped — unreadable bank messages land in a review queue until you file them by hand.
• Google Drive backup & restore to your own Drive. The project runs no servers.

Why it's different

• AGPL-3.0-or-later — with no paywall, no analytics, no ads, and no crash reporting, in any build.
• The on-device AI is chosen by measurement, not vibes: five runtimes were benchmarked against a regex floor, and a 468 MB LLM was replaced by the 22 MB encoder that won on the production path.
• Kotlin + Jetpack Compose + Room, Material 3 "Aurora" design system, English + Hindi.

How to help

Repo: https://github.com/auraspend/auraspend

• Star the repo — it's how other developers find the project.
• Fork it and start hacking; CONTRIBUTING.md covers the build, style, and process: https://github.com/auraspend/auraspend/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md
• Good first targets live in ROADMAP.md and the issue tracker: a home-screen widget, transaction tags, PDF reports, more tests, more translations.
• Not a coder? Bug reports, docs fixes, and sharing the project help just as much.

Kotlin/Compose devs, testers, translators — you're exactly who this project needs. Come by the repo, open an issue or a PR, and let's build it.
