A comprehensive mobile application designed to help users track and manage their expenses efficiently. Built with Expo and React Native, this app offers a seamless cross-platform experience.

Please Note: This is primarily a learning project. While functional, there might be areas for improvement, potential flaws, or bugs. Contributions, suggestions, and constructive feedback aimed at enhancing the project are highly encouraged and appreciated!

• Expense Tracking: Easily add, view, edit, and delete expenses.
• Categorization: Organize expenses into categories for better insights.
• Recurring Expenses: Manage and track regular payments like subscriptions or bills.
• Card Management: Keep track of expenses made with different credit/debit cards.
• Budgeting: Set and monitor budgets to stay on top of your finances (inferred from BudgetAlert, BudgetModal).
• Reporting: Generate reports to visualize spending patterns (inferred from app/(tabs)/reports/).
• Data Visualization: Charts and graphs to understand expense distribution (inferred from victory-native).
• Receipt Scanning: Capture and attach receipts to expenses (inferred from ReceiptScanner, expo-image-picker).
• Split Expenses: Divide expenses among multiple people (inferred from SplitExpenseModal).
• Filtering & Sorting: Advanced filtering options for expenses (e.g., by date range, category).
• Authentication: Secure user accounts (inferred from app/(auth)/ and expo-local-authentication, expo-secure-store).
• Notifications: Reminders for upcoming payments or budget alerts (inferred from utils/notifications.ts, expo-notifications).
• Data Backup & Restore: Securely back up and restore your financial data (inferred from components/BackupRestoreModal.tsx, utils/backup.ts).
• Data Export: Export expense data in various formats (inferred from utils/export.ts, expo-sharing).
• Cross-Platform: Runs on both iOS and Android devices thanks to Expo and React Native.

• Framework: React Native with Expo
• Language: TypeScript
• Navigation: Expo Router
• State Management: Redux Toolkit
• Database: Expo SQLite (local storage)
• UI Components: React Native core components, Expo Blur, Expo Linear Gradient, React Native SVG
• Forms: Formik with Yup for validation
• Charting: Victory Native
• Linting: ESLint with eslint-config-expo
• Styling: (Likely inline styles or StyleSheet, common in React Native)

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• Node.js (LTS version recommended)
• npm or yarn
• Expo CLI: npm install -g expo-cli
• An Android Emulator/Device or iOS Simulator/Device.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <your-repository-url>
   cd expense-tracker

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   # or
   yarn install

3. Set up environment variables: Create a .env file in the root directory if there are specific environment variables required (e.g., API keys). Refer to .env.example if provided (though not listed in current files).

4. Run the application:

   • For development server (Expo Go or web):

     npm run dev

     Then, scan the QR code with the Expo Go app on your mobile device, or select an option to run on an emulator/simulator or in the web browser.

   • To build and run on Android:

     npm run android

   • To build and run on iOS:

     npm run ios

In the project directory, you can run the following scripts:

• npm run dev: Starts the Expo development server.
• npm run android: Builds and runs the app on a connected Android device or emulator.
• npm run ios: Builds and runs the app on an iOS simulator or connected device.
• npm run lint: Lints the codebase using ESLint to check for code quality and style issues.
