CH’HIHA is a personal budgeting application inspired by the traditional Algerian ch’hiha, a handmade clay savings jar filled gradually with coins. Drawing on the idea that every dinar should have a purpose, the app helps users understand their spending, plan monthly finances and save for meaningful goals. Born in Algeria and designed for people everywhere, CH’HIHA is available in French, English and Arabic.

Users enter their income and expenses manually; the app does not require a bank connection or banking credentials. Features include expense tracking with categories, monthly budgets, calculated amounts remaining to spend, spending history and customizable savings goals. Users can plan for regular costs and seasonal expenses, compare planned spending with actual results, and carry budgets forward from one month to the next.

CH’HIHA also offers a free plan with no bank card required, alongside paid options with advanced features for individuals and businesses. Its guidance is organized around five practical budgeting habits, from setting aside savings early to reviewing the month’s spending.
