Let's dive in.

1. Hysab Kytab (Budgeting)

Designed for Pakistani users in mind, Hysab Kytab is the only budgeting app developed in Pakistan. 

Pakistani housewives usually get a fix amount per month, from this budget they have to buy daily stuff and manage savings too. But they struggle to keep track of the expenses. 

With the help of a good expense and budget manager app, like Hysab Kytab, everything can be done quickly and in a better way.

For example, you need to buy a new oven, simply add price of oven in saving target section and regularly enter the amount you are setting aside, the app will keep showing your saving progress. Best thing is you can also connect local bank accounts in Hysab Kytab, so if you do online shopping, it will automatically sync in your expense list.

2.  The Happy Child (Parenting)

Based on the results of years of research in psychology, neuroscience, and pediatrics, The Happy Child app was developed by the Human Improvement Project for free.

4. Google Keep (Shopping List)

Google Keep is another must have for everyone. The reason we are recommending it here is it's simple list making feature.

Making a list of items we need to buy for grocery is the easiest way to have an untiring shopping experience. Usually, housewives make a list on a simple plain paper. And they make this list just before leaving for shopping or a night before, because otherwise they will need to take care of this piece of paper.

With Google Keep or any other shopping list apps, this hassle is removed. You can build your grocery list whenever anything comes to mind or a need arises. You don't have to over burden your mind by asking to remember things you'll be buying 10 or 15 days later.

Having a shopping list app will surely make your life much easier.
