How Linaw works, and why it works the way it does.

• Logging cash spending in the Philippines, without a spreadsheet

  Jeepney fares, sari-sari runs, palengke: cash leaves no trail. A simple daily expense tracker setup for pesos that takes three seconds a log.

• Log an expense by voice on iPhone, in about three seconds

  How voice logging works in Linaw: what to say, how the confirm card saves itself, logging with Siri, and what happens to your voice.

• Why Linaw doesn't do budgets

  I tried 12 finance apps and bounced off each one. Why Linaw logs fast and shows three numbers instead of asking you to set up a budget.

• What happens to a receipt photo you scan in Linaw

  Checked on your phone, sent encrypted, read once for the total, merchant and date, deleted within 60 seconds. The whole path of a receipt photo.
