Pikash
Pikash is a free, offline-first budget tracker and expense manager for Android. It automatically captures financial notifications from GCash, Maya, and other banks to log transactions without manual entry. The app works entirely offline with a local SQLite engine, allowing instant transaction logging even without internet, and syncs across devices once connectivity is restored. Pikash includes a conversational AI assistant that combines a deep online LLM for complex queries with a private on-device rule engine for offline use. Users can also log expenses via voice, and the app provides over ten interactive charts for financial insights. It supports all currencies, is localized in 13+ languages, and ensures privacy with biometric lock, on-device encryption, and no cloud data storage without consent.
