II. LITERATURE SURVEY
Several studies have delved into the realm of expense
tracking applications, each offering unique features and
functionalities to cater to the diverse needs of users. Thakare
et al. (2023)[1] introduced an Expense Tracker mobile app
leveraging the Naive Bayes algorithm, facilitating expense
classification. Compatible with Android devices and

developed using Kotlin and XML, this app allows manual
expense input and auto-detection of bank messages. Notably,
it provides users with visual representations of expenses via
Pie Charts across different time frames, fostering efficient
financial management aided by Firebase for data persistence.
Gupta (2023)[2] proposed the "Income and Expense
Tracker System," a holistic financial management solution
enabling users to effortlessly monitor their daily, weekly,
monthly, and yearly expenses and income. The system offers
customizable views, budget tracking, and insightful
visualizations, empowering users to exercise control over their
finances and achieve their goals securely stored in a local
database with cutting-edge technology.
Pandey et al. (2023)[3] introduced the Xpense Tracker,
an advanced application employing OCR and machine
learning for receipt classification. Users can customize
spending categories and set budget limits, while the app aids
in monitoring and analyzing spending patterns through receipt
scanning, catering to users of all demographics.
Gupta et al. (2020)[4] developed "Expense Tracker," a
computerized solution aimed at daily expense management for
Windows users. Utilizing Java and MySQL, it offers a user-
friendly GUI application for income-expenditure control,
allowing users to track expenses by day and category, thereby
reducing manual record-keeping efforts.
In a similar vein, Velmurugan et al. (2020) [5]
introduced the Expense Manager Application, a mobile
platform offering comprehensive features for managing
personal and group expenses. Beyond expense tracking, it
provides insights into investment options, stock market trends,
financial news, and market offers, enabling users to make
informed budget decisions while simplifying data handling
issues.
III. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
SpendSync introduces a paradigm shift in expense
tracking by harnessing cloud technology, specifically the
Firebase Realtime Database, to revolutionize financial
management. This cutting-edge system eradicates manual data
entry through seamless automation. Its intuitive interface

facilitates precise transaction capture and storage of crucial
details: date, credit/debit specifics, customizable
categorization, transaction particulars and amounts. Moreover,
SpendSync ensures heightened security by utilizing Firebase,
guaranteeing the safety of stored data. Employing the "Naive
Bayes" classifier, SpendSync autonomously categorizes
expenses, alleviating the burdensome manual input. This

IV. IMPLEMENTATION
SpendSync is a revolutionary expense tracking
application that employs a multifaceted methodology to
enhance financial management. Central to its functionality is
an intuitive interface designed for seamless transaction capture
and the meticulous storage of essential details. This interface
ensures the precise logging of transaction specifics such as
date, credit/debit information, nuanced transaction details,
customizable categorization, and corresponding amounts.
Moreover, SpendSync provides the flexibility to mark
personal debts or other dues, optimizing users' financial
stewardship.
One of the pivotal aspects of SpendSync's architecture is
its utilization of a cloud-based Firebase Database. This
dynamic database solution offers robustness, scalability, and
real-time data synchronization, ensuring that users have access
to their financial information anytime, anywhere. This
database infrastructure forms the backbone of SpendSync,
facilitating efficient data storage and retrieval.
The app's architecture follows the MVM (Model-View-
ViewModel) pattern, segregating data (Model), user interface
(View), and logic (ViewModel). This separation enhances

methodology offers users real-time transaction updates,
enhancing financial insights. By marking personal debts or
other dues, when necessary, SpendSync optimizes financial
stewardship. Its focus on simplicity and convenience
empowers users with effortless financial control, making
personal finance management more accessible and effective.
scalability, maintainability, and testability of the app, ensuring
a smooth and responsive user experience. The MVM
architecture streamlines the app's structure, making it
adaptable to changing requirements and enabling efficient
development and maintenance of the iOS application.
SpendSync integrates a Naive Bayes Classifier,an
advanced algorithmic tool, to automate expense
categorization. This classifier learns from user interactions and
patterns, autonomously categorizing expenses without manual
intervention. By leveraging machine learning, SpendSync
optimizes expense tracking, significantly reducing the burden
of manual input and enhancing accuracy in categorizing
expenses.
Ensuring the security of users' financial data is
paramount for SpendSync. Robust security measures are
implemented within the app to safeguard sensitive
information. Through encryption protocols, secure login
procedures, and data encryption during transmission and
storage, SpendSync prioritizes the protection of user data,
maintaining confidentiality and integrity.
