These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and Antônio João Damião Filho ("Developer", "we"), developer and owner of ChaChing.

To use ChaChing, you declare that you:

Description of service

ChaChing is a personal finance management app that allows users to:

  • Create "pockets" — spending categories with personalized limits.
  • Record and track financial transactions (expenses and income).
  • View monthly and annual spending reports.
  • Manage credit cards, bank accounts, and payment methods.
  • Control installment purchases and personal investments.
  • Use AI-powered features to analyze spending and add expenses via receipt photos (Pro).
⚠️ Important: ChaChing is not a financial service

ChaChing is a personal organization and record-keeping tool. We are not a financial institution, bank, broker, or investment advisor. We do not offer, intermediate, or execute real financial transactions. Information displayed in the app is based exclusively on data you enter manually.
