Context
Many people struggle with managing their personal finances — allocating monthly budgets, tracking expenses, and planning savings. Due to the lack of a convenient and centralized tool, users often rely on spreadsheets or manual notes, which are inefficient and offer little to no analytical insight.
BUDGETnikat is a solution developed by Ludogorie Soft, designed to provide users with an intuitive web and mobile application (Android & iOS) for managing income, expenses, and financial goals.
