Most budget apps feel like preparing for an entrance exam—too many forms, rigid categories, and endless "school work." Chillar is the antidote. Inspired by the effortless Indian Kirana Khata. It lets you log ₹100 chai or ₹250 auto #office in one line and get back to your life. No forms. No math. Zero bakwaas.
Track chai, samosas, and everything in between—the Indian way
After 25 years in tech, I realized I was spending more time categorizing my every transaction.
Breaking a 500 note is a magic trick where the money just... disappears. Most budgeting apps make it worse. They feel like school homework—by the time you categorize a single samosa across five different menus, the shopkeeper is staring you down like you're applying for a home loan.
The local kirana uncle (shopkeeper) had it right all along. He doesn't use menus; he has a khata (small notebook). He scribbles one line and he's done.
So I built Chillar (चिल्लर - fractional money;change) to keep track of all the transactions the way I want.
It’s a digital khata for that old-school Kirana vibe—no forms, no dropdowns, and zero bakwaas. Just type 10 chai or 320 auto #office and move on with your life. No "Are you sure?" pop-ups or second-guessing; just one line and you're done. Because tracking your own cash should feel like a quick note in a pocket diary, not a second job.
100% Local & Private: No logins, no cloud, no "audit" stress. Your data stays in your browser's localStorage and works offline once added to homescreen (PWA App). Planning IOS & Android apps soon.
Designed with an Indian soul for a global audience, Chillar shows the world how we track - no forms, no friction, just life.
Built with Vanilla JS and CSS for a fast, immortal, and minimalist experience. It won't judge your 4th chai of the day—it just saves it.
