Welcome to Finlyst

Money management — it sounds simple until you try to do it. Every month starts with promises: “This time I’ll save more.” “I’ll track every expense.” “I’ll finally understand where my money is going.” But a few days in, we’re back to scrolling through messages from our banks, flipping between apps, and staring at Excel sheets that never quite match the bank balance. That’s exactly where Finlyst was born — out of frustration, confusion, and a weekend full of coffee, receipts, and mismatched numbers. The Struggle That Started It All Like most of us, I thought I had my finances “under control.” I had salary inflows, a few credit cards, investments here and there — and a dozen apps that promised to “simplify” money management. But every weekend turned into a financial postmortem: “Why does my credit card bill look higher than expected?” “Did I really spend that much on food delivery?” “Where did my savings go this month?” I’d open Excel, type in transactions, cross-check SMSes, then give up halfway through. The numbers never matched. The process was time-consuming, and mentally exhausting. That’s when it hit me — tracking money shouldn’t feel like punishment. I didn’t need another app that just “recorded” expenses. I needed a smart assistant that understood my financial habits, spotted patterns, and guided me to make better choices — just like a personal financial coach sitting quietly in my pocket. From Idea to Finlyst The name Finlyst comes from two words: Finance + Analyst. It reflects what we aim to be — your personal financial analyst that does the heavy lifting for you. Finlyst started as a simple idea: “What if your money could tell you its own story?” Instead of just showing numbers, Finlyst interprets them. It helps you visualize income, expenses, credit card dues, and investments — all in one clean, beautiful dashboard. It gives actionable insights like: “You spent 20% more on food this month — should we set a limit?” “Your credit card payment is due in 3 days — here’s your expected bill.” “You’re close to hitting your savings goal — one more week of discipline!” It’s not about restriction — it’s about awareness. The Pain Points We Solve When we talked to early users, their stories sounded painfully familiar: “I know I should budget, but I don’t know where to start.” “I keep forgetting my bills until it’s too late.” “My salary comes and disappears without a trace.” “Tracking expenses feels like a chore.” Finlyst takes those pain points and turns them into simple, automated solutions: 💡 All-in-one money view: Income, expenses, cards, and investments organized in one place. 🔎 Smart insights & nudges: Spot patterns, avoid overspending, and receive timely tips. 💳 Credit card control: Track dues, fees, and rewards automatically. 🎯 Goals & budgets: Set financial goals and celebrate milestones.
