Problem and opportunity

Financial control without handing over bank access.

Many finance apps depend on connecting your bank account, which brings sync failures and privacy concerns. Cartteira's premise is different: users record what happens, confirm it, and stay in control, using names they understand for cards, installments, and people.

The opportunity is to make that record fast enough to become a habit, and to use technology to reduce effort, not to make decisions for the user.

Vision and product decisions

No bank connectionA product decision, not a limitation: the user records and confirms.
Cartteira suggests; you decideNothing enters the records without explicit confirmation.
The user's namesCards, limits, and people appear the way the person calls them.
Privacy as a principleNo ads and no data sales, as the product states publicly.

User experience

From expense to record in three steps.

Logging an expense means writing a sentence, sending a screenshot, or the card statement PDF. The product builds drafts with a suggested category, card, and installments; the person reviews and confirms.

Architecture and technologies

GoReactArtificial intelligence

Go and React are the confirmed technologies of the product. The application runs in the mobile or desktop browser and can be added to the home screen.

Artificial intelligence features

AI is a feature of the product, not its only differentiator.

In Cartteira, AI helps turn informal input into structured records: it reads sentences, pasted text, screenshots, and PDFs and proposes a category, card, and installments. Suggestions based on the user's history are computed on the device itself.

The design is deliberate: AI reduces the typing, and confirmation remains human. The product's value is in cards, statements, limits, and reimbursements working well together.
