About

In a nutshell: a private budgeting tool that can be self-hosted.

This project is an attempt to understand and control my own spending better without giving my banking/financial info to a 3rd party. The app is meant to be used with 1 login, and you can host easily your own instance.

Features

Dashboard

The dashboard lets you quickly see how you're doing in the current month. You can set a spend goal per month and/or per category. This is also where you quickly add individual expenses.
