I personally find it very hard to manage my finances, track my expenses, plan future costs and save money. So I've built Expensio for myself. It makes all these feel easier for me. If you're in the same boat, try it out. Hopefully it will help you as well.
I built this for myself first and foremost. I have a problem with budgeting and a very hard time saving. Truly, that's the least of it... I even end up running out of money before my next salary every once in a while.
This is not for lack of income. I'm a well paid software engineer. But I give in to my impulses very easily and I hate tracking my money or just generally organizing things.
Most existent solutions, imho, suck! Too many features, too many things going on. That's not what I want. My core problem is sticking with the idea of tracking expenses and budgeting. The easier & smaller the tool is, the better for me.
Core features of Expensio that I personally love:
- being able to easily fix things when I either forget to track my expenses for a few days or when I just don't care enough to describe what I spend my money on.
- knowing when/if I'll run out of money if I plan a trip or other bigger future expense.
- it's self-hosted so privacy is built in.
Give it a try!
Hey Alex, this is such an amazing tool. Honestly just this morning I experienced what you mentioned on the landing page i.e beating up myself over silly expenses I had made. And when I contemplated , I didn't make prudent decisions. But if there was a way of evaluating my expenses vs runway, it would teach me to be more alert.
May be the only feed back I can leave is to also make it more mobile friendly, PWA experience users can easily access. Congrats on the launch 🎊
@gilbert_mpanga I'm aiming for PWA in the future as well as I'm developing a framework for Go around Expensio. The idea is to make it super easy to create modern web apps with Go in a self-hosted manner so I can launch more such goodies that scratch my own itches.
The "beating up myself over silly expenses I had made" resonating with you is no mistake, it means you have the same problems as me regarding budgeting, lol.
