Managing money shouldn’t feel complicated. Whether you’re just getting your first debit card or you’re juggling bills, credit cards, and long-term goals, having a clear picture of your finances creates confidence and peace of mind.
That’s why I created Cowrie Ledger — a personal finance app built to make money management simple, cultural, and empowering.
Why the Name “Cowrie” Ledger?
Before apps, banks, or plastic cards… there were cowrie shells.
In West African and Caribbean history, cowries were more than currency — they were a symbol of:
Wealth, Protection, Blessing, Spiritual wisdom and the flow of opportunity.
By naming this app Cowrie Ledger, I’m honoring that legacy.
This is about reconnecting to something our ancestors already mastered:
understanding value, managing resources, and building generational wealth.
