New Feature: Recurring Activities - Solution for Repetitive Expenses

Are you tired of creating new activities every day for repetitive tasks like office lunches, weekend coffee meetings, or group gym sessions?

Today, ChiaHoaDon proudly launches the Recurring Activities feature - helping you automate regular expenses and save dozens of hours every week!

Do You Face These Situations?

😴 Monday Morning - Creating Activities Again

Familiar scenario:

11:30 AM: "Oh... I have to create 'Team Lunch' activity again"
Open app, enter activity name
Add the same familiar members
Set similar budget as last week
Repeat the same old process...

⏰ Result: Waste 3-5 minutes daily just to create identical activities!

🔄 Group Gym Activities - Endless Repetition

Weekly routine:

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: Gym together
Same group of people
Same type of expenses (water, snacks)
Same cost-splitting method
But still need to create new activity every time!

😵 Result: Time waste and easy to forget creating activities!

🥪 Regular Coffee Meetings

Weekly client meetings:

Every Friday: Client meeting at café
3-4 fixed attendees
Similar costs (coffee + snacks)
But someone forgets to create the activity...

🤯 Result: Expense management gets disrupted!
