FinDesk
Full-Stack AppA personal finance command center bridging the gap between daily expense tracking and long-term market investing, powered by AI.
Overview
Managing personal finances often means jumping between multiple disjointed apps: one for tracking daily coffee runs, another for monitoring stock portfolios, and yet another for budgeting. FinDesk solves this fragmentation by providing a unified, secure dashboard.
I built FinDesk to be the ultimate companion for financial awareness. It doesn't just display numbers; it actively generates insights using Groq's extremely fast LLMs to summarize spending habits and highlight anomalies in real time.
