SaktoSpend is designed to help users avoid overspending while shopping. Users can start a budget-based shopping session, add items manually, use voice-assisted entry, or scan product labels using OCR to extract the product name and price from a photo.
The app focuses on fast and simple local usage, allowing core budget tracking features to work offline. It includes hard budget protection to warn or prevent users from exceeding their set budget, while also saving session cart data locally for continuity.
SaktoSpend currently uses label scanning instead of barcode lookup. The scanner reads visible product label text, extracts the product name and price, and allows users to review or edit the result before saving it to the session. The app also includes shopping history, budget views, insights, and local settings for OCR and budget behavior.
