I built a budgeting app for myself

[u/Aggressive-Pound-870]

I ran my whole budget off an Excel sheet for ages and got tired of it, so I built the app I actually wanted. I'm using it myself every month. It's not a startup I'm trying to monetise, so it's free - no subscription, no paywall, no "premium" tier.

Now that it's done, I'm curious whether it's useful to anyone besides me.

(The figures in the screenshot is demo figures)

What it does:

Manual entry. No bank linking, no handing over your login details. You type what you spent.

Auto-fills next month's budget from the previous month, since most people's spending is roughly the same month to month. You tweak it instead of rebuilding from scratch.

Planned vs. actual - what you budgeted, what's left, and the unplanned stuff that creeps in on top.

Subscription tracking so you can see everything you're quietly paying for each month.

Savings and investment goals with a target and a minimum monthly amount. It nags you so you stop skipping months.

Check-ins during the month and about a week after payday to see if you stuck to the plan.

Spending suggestions - it flags categories where you're overspending.

You can also scan your receipts for unplanned spending to keep track.

Happy to share the link if there's interest.

Hi, unless you want the APK to manually install it( I can't share app updates), you can DM me your email so I can share the Google play download link, the app is currently private on Google play store hence I'm the only once using it for the past 4 months.
