Introduction

 

Welcome to InflaMate ("we," "our," or "us"). InflaMate is a price tracking app designed to help users monitor and visualize the impact of inflation on everyday items. By recording prices, quantities, and dates of purchases, users can track how prices change over time and experience the effects of inflation firsthand.​ The app aims to educate users about price trends and promote financial awareness through visual representations of price data.
