Description
PennyWise turns the bank/UPI SMS you already get into an automatic expense timeline. Parsing, storage and the AI assistant all run on your phone: no login, no bank linking, no analytics. New since last launch: an iOS app, 157 banks across 24 countries, PDF statement import, and a faster on-device Qwen model. Open source (AGPL) and free, with everything unlocked in the F-Droid build.

Could you build this?
Partial While an expense tracking UI is simple, integrating an on-device LLM and maintaining accurate extraction logic for 157 banks across 24 countries from messy SMS and PDF formats requires substantial edge ML and parsing engineering.
What it would actually take: A native mobile app using MLC-LLM, llama.cpp, or ExecuTorch to run a quantized Qwen model on mobile NPU/GPU, alongside a vast regular expression and heuristic engine. The hardest part is sourcing, testing, and maintaining parsing templates for 157 international bank formats and complex tabular PDF statements while keeping mobile memory usage within tight OS limits. Requires expertise in edge AI deployment, mobile performance optimization, and document parsing.
