People do not have track on their monthly expenses and receivables and they do not have any control on what
they spend.Developing an application which will be able to keep track on expenses and receivables can solve this
problem.To manage our monthly expenses we designed a mobile application. Whatever we spend monthly or
daily will be recorded in this application. And it is used to manage our monthly expenses.User can enter their
limited budget of the entire month in this mobile application where when the user exceeds their given budget in
the respective month will be notified through Expenses Management System Application. And also some
mathematical calculations are done to calculate the expenditure on what items users spend a lot and users will be
notified that they are spending a lot of amount on the respective item so that they can reduce their expenditure on
that item in future.OAuth for authentication via social logins and firebase authentication for respective accounts
and firebase, firestore for storing and retrieving respective users data is implemented and Chabot is also
included.

Keywords - OAuth, Google Api, Facebook Api, Twitter Api, Firestore.

research. Here, the research project methodology describes Fig.3: SQLite

app new user onboarding is implemented.

7.2 User Registration/Creation

This application like most of the applications will have
user login screen and option for registration. The user
must register in this application when he/she is using for
first time. However, the user who is already registered
can login to the application using his/her login
credentials that are created by the user at the time of
registration.Firebase is used for the purpose of
authentication.

7.3 OAUTH Social Login

In this module, Social logins are implemented. Where
users can login to their respective accounts. Google
login , Facebook login and twitter login is implemented
where users can login into this mobile application
through any of their social accounts. Fig 5: Sequence diagram for Expenses Management.

7.6 Limit Calculation

Initially monthly limit and daily limit can be set. If user
exceeds the limit firebase push notification will be sent to
the registered users of the Expenses Management System
Application. From this the users can get awareness on
their expenses and can take any action on them.

VIII. CONCLUSION
In this project, we develop a mobile application that keeps
track of user personal expenses, his/her personal
contribution towards expenses, maintain monthly incomes.
