What is this?

OurPot is an AI-assisted household expense tracker built around a simple rule: the AI proposes, you approve. Nothing ever touches your ledger without your say-so.

• 🤖 AI proposals — describe expenses naturally ("Coffee $4.50, groceries $82 at Woolworths") and the assistant drafts categorized entries.
• ✅ You stay in control — review, edit, or reject every proposal. Rejected ones are archived, never silently deleted.
• 🔒 Privacy-first — expense data lives on-device (encrypted SQLite). The backend only runs AI inference; it never stores your financial data.
• 🏦 No bank linking — your accounts are never connected.

Tech stack

Layer	Tech
App shell	Next.js 16 (static export) + React 19
Native	Capacitor 8 (Android)
Local data	Capacitor SQLite (on-device, encrypted)
AI	Vercel AI SDK → backend inference (our-pot-api)
UI	Tailwind CSS v4, Radix UI, Framer Motion

The propose/approve flow is implemented with a ChangeSet pattern: the AI emits a ChangeSet, the user reviews it, and only approved ChangeSets are committed to the local database.
