Why Tellava
Budget updates, triggered by real life.
📍
Live location prompts
Tellava uses always‑allowed background location to check when you are near your saved stores, then nudges you to adjust your budget after you tap your card.
💸
Flexible budgeting
Set a budget however you like — not locked to weekly or monthly cycles. Tellava simply keeps your remaining amount in sync with the spend entries you log.
🔒
Privacy‑first by design
Budget and spend prompt information stays on your device. Location data used outside the app is processed transiently for proximity matching, and Tellava doesn’t sell or share personal information.
How it works
Stay on budget where spending actually happens.
1
Set a budget amount.
Choose the total you want to keep an eye on. Tellava tracks how much you have left as you log spending over time.
2
Save your monitored stores.
Add the shops, cafes, or retailers that tend to steal your budget. Tellava watches for those locations in the background.
3
Update in the moment.
When Tellava sees you near a monitored store, it prompts you to enter what you spent so your budget stays current — not just in theory, but based on real visits.
