SpendSense is a full-stack expense tracking web app built with React and Node.js. Users can add, filter, and manage their daily expenses while visualizing spending patterns through interactive pie and bar charts. The app includes a smart monthly budget tracker that alerts users when they're close to or over their limit.
The standout feature is the AI Financial Advisor — powered by Groq's LLaMA 3.3 model — which analyzes a user's spending data and generates personalized, actionable financial insights and saving tips in real time. The AI feature is fully functional on the live demo, with the backend securely deployed on Render.
The project uses a secure Express backend proxy (deployed on Render) to keep API keys safe, local Storage for fast data persistence, and Recharts for clean, responsive data visualization. It's fully responsive and works smoothly across desktop and mobile.
Future Enhancements
- Add user authentication and cloud data sync
- Export expense reports as PDF/CSV
- Add recurring expense tracking
- Add multi-currency support
- Dark/Light theme toggle
Known Issues
No known issues. The AI Insights feature is fully functional on the live demo — the Express backend is deployed on Render and connected to the frontend automatically.
