Birrly, a payday-aware money notebook for Telegram
Birrly lets people in Ethiopia log spending, income, debts, and reminders in Telegram, then check their remaining ETB before payday.
Field notes
Birrly uses Telegram as both the entry point and identity layer: users send short ledger messages, confirm ambiguous amounts, and open a Mini App for the current payday view. Its free tier includes unlimited transactions and IOUs, five reminders, and rule-based commands such as “80 taxi.” The site also lists support for English, Amharic, Afaan Oromo, Tigrinya, Somali, and mixed-language messages. Premium is described as adding natural-language parsing, reports, savings goals, budgets, and unlimited reminders.
