# Expense tracker in Roman Urdu: track money by typing, not filling forms

**Short answer:** yes, you can track your money in Roman Urdu. With [Zero Before 30 (Z30)](https://zerobefore30.com/) you type what happened the way you would text a friend, for example "Ali ko 5000 udhaar diye" or "petrol 450 cash", and it records the amount, type, category and date for you. English and Roman Urdu work today and can be mixed in one line; Urdu script is still being tested.

## Why typing beats forms

Most finance apps ask you to open a form for every coffee: amount, category, account, date. That's why most people stop tracking after a few days. Typing one line takes about five seconds, so it is easier to keep doing every day.

## Examples

| You write | Z30 records |
| --- | --- |
| `petrol 450 cash` | Expense, Rs 450, paid in cash, today's date |
| `salary 120000 HBL` | Income, Rs 120,000, into HBL |
| `Ali ne 2000 wapas kiye` | Ali paid back Rs 2,000, linked to his earlier loan |
| `HBL se cash 10000 nikale` | Transfer between your own accounts, not spending |
| `Amjad 4800` | A question: did you lend, borrow, or pay him? |

## What happens when it is not sure

Z30 uses AI to read what you type. If an important detail is missing, it asks one short question instead of guessing. After every entry it shows what it recorded, so you can check it. If something is wrong, tap Undo or write the correction. Entries are never silently erased: a corrected or deleted entry stays in your history.

## FAQ
