🧠 Detection Algorithm

Pattern Matching Logic

1. Fetch all expenses from last year
2. Group by similarity:
   - Same category
   - Amount within 5% or $5
   - Description match (60% overlap)
3. Analyze intervals between transactions:
   - Calculate average interval
   - Check consistency (variance)
   - Map to frequency (weekly, monthly, etc.)
4. Generate confidence score:
   - Base: 50-70% (interval consistency)
   - +15% for monthly patterns
   - +10% for low amount variance (<5%)
   - -10% for high variance (>20%)
5. Create suggestion if confidence >= 70%

Supported Frequencies

  • Weekly (7 days ± 2)
  • Bi-weekly (14 days ± 2)
  • Monthly (30 days ± 3)
  • Quarterly (90 days ± 5)
  • Yearly (365 days ± 10)

🔒 Security & Privacy

  • All data stored locally in Docker volumes
  • No external API calls
  • Detection runs server-side
  • User confirmation required before tracking
  • Dismiss unwanted suggestions
  • Complete data ownership

📈 Performance

  • Detection: O(n²) worst case, optimized with early exits
  • Suggestions: Cached in database (no re-computation)
  • Dashboard: Lazy loading of subscriptions
  • API: JSON endpoints for async loading

🐛 Troubleshooting

No patterns detected?

  • Need minimum 3 similar transactions
  • Check amounts are within 5% similarity
  • Ensure consistent payment intervals
  • Verify same category used

Low confidence scores?

  • Irregular payment dates reduce confidence
  • Varying amounts affect scoring
  • Try manual entry for irregular subscriptions

Subscriptions not showing on dashboard?

  • Verify next_due_date is set
  • Check subscription is_active = True
  • Ensure date within 30 days

🎯 Next Steps

Immediate

  1. Run migration: ./migrate_smart_features.sh
  2. Add some expenses with recurring patterns
  3. Test detection algorithm
  4. Accept suggestions
  5. View on dashboard

Future Enhancements

  • Email/push notifications for payments
  • Price change detection
  • Category-based insights
  • Bulk operations
  • Export subscription list
  • Calendar integration
  • Recurring expense auto-entry
