Common questions
A few plain answers before you decide whether WhatsApp-first tracking fits how you work.
What is a WhatsApp expense tracker?
A WhatsApp expense tracker lets you record spending from a WhatsApp chat instead of opening a separate app. With NotaWA, you send short messages like -12.50 lunch or +500 client payment.
Can NotaWA track both income and expenses?
No. NotaWA tracks both expenses and income, so it can show balance and cashflow instead of only spending.
Do I need to install another expense tracking app?
No. The daily input happens in WhatsApp. The web dashboard is there for review and account settings.
Can I track multiple expenses in one WhatsApp message?
Yes. NotaWA supports multiline messages, so you can send several plus or minus entries in one chat message.
Does NotaWA support multi-currency expense tracking?
Yes. NotaWA keeps each currency separate instead of automatically converting balances with changing exchange rates.
Does NotaWA read my bank account?
