About
A small team, building the money apps we wanted ourselves.
Mali Fund is an independent app studio in Saudi Arabia, founded in 2026. We build small, focused tools for personal money — the kind we could not find and decided to make.

Why we started
Money apps here usually ask for a great deal before they give anything back — your bank login, your identity, your attention sold on to somebody else. The trade is presented as the only one available, and it is not.
We wanted the opposite: a small tool that holds what you tell it, works on a plane, and never asks for your bank at all. Something you could hand to a family member without first explaining what it collects, because the answer is nothing.
We started with subscriptions, because that is the money that leaves quietly — a renewal you forgot about is the most common way people lose track of what they actually spend. Every app after this one follows the same rules.
What we will not do
These are constraints we designed around, not preferences we hold loosely. Each one costs us something, which is what makes it worth stating.
We do not measure you
No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier, no third-party trackers — in the apps and on this site. It means we ship without knowing which screens people use, and we accept that. There is nothing to opt out of because nothing is collecting.
We do not ask for your bank
No account aggregation, no card numbers, no read access to your transactions. You tell the app what you pay for. That makes it a little more work to set up and removes an entire category of risk from your side of the arrangement.
We do not treat Arabic as a translation
Right-to-left layouts drawn as layouts, Arabic-Indic numerals, dates in the calendar people actually use, and a typeface that carries Arabic and Latin on the same baseline. It is roughly twice the design work and it is the reason the studio exists.
We do not sell anything about you
No data sold, no data shared for advertising, no profile built. Our apps hold what you put in them and nothing else, and the backup that makes a new phone work is readable only by you.
What we have shipped so far
One app, and it is honest about not being out yet.
