# Jijenga — full machine-readable summary

Jijenga ("build yourself" in Swahili) is a Kenyan personal finance app. A user
uploads their M-Pesa statement (PDF); Jijenga classifies every transaction —
100% of them, none skipped — and returns one honest picture: what came in,
where it went, what was kept. It is a clarity tool: not a bank, not a lender,
not a wallet. It cannot move money.

## The product

- Import: user-initiated statement upload (PDF today; more sources coming).
  Nothing is scraped; there is no live feed; no M-Pesa PIN is ever requested.
- Classification: every transaction is sorted and named. Users can correct any
  classification once and the correction sticks — the user's word overrides
  the system's, permanently, including for future transactions.
- Rooms: the web app organises money into rooms — the month (in/out/kept),
  Fees (transaction charges totalled and explained), People (the relationship
  ledger: who you send to, who sends to you), Spending Days (weekday
  patterns), and per-transaction receipts.
- Reports: Hindsight — periodic plain-language financial reports.

## The three doors (one account, one record)

1. Web app — https://home.jijenga.com — the place: explore, correct, understand.
2. Android — https://get.jijenga.com — direct-install APK, statement import
   via share sheet, dark-first.
3. Jijenga Connect — https://ai.jijenga.com — an MCP (Model Context Protocol)
   connector. The user's assistant (Claude on claude.ai and Claude Code today,
   Perplexity today, others as verified) can query the user's own record:
   overviews, spending summaries, transaction search, and propose-then-confirm
   category corrections. The assistant gets answers, never the raw statement.
   MCP endpoint: https://mcp.jijenga.com/mcp. Free with a Jijenga account.

## Pricing — access, not features

Every plan is the complete product; plans differ only in access duration.
- Week: KSh 199 — FREE at launch as a promotion (no card, no auto-charge).
- Month: KSh 399. "The app that pays for itself" — the average member found
  more than the fee in fees and quiet leaks in their first month.
- Year: coming; not sold before it exists.
Payment is via M-Pesa inside the app, only when the user chooses to stay.
A lapsed account keeps its record encrypted; deletion is complete and
irreversible, on the user's command.

## Privacy (the four iron laws)

1. No personal identity collected by default — no name, National ID, KRA PIN,
   or M-Pesa PIN. Members are anonymous callsigns (e.g. "NAIVASHA HOOPOE").
2. No government data sharing; Jijenga is personal analytics, not statutory
   reporting. No bulk handover, to anyone, for any reason.
3. The user can leave at any time; deletion erases everything.
4. The business model is the privacy model: subscription, no ads, no data
   sales — the user pays, so Jijenga works for the user.
