I Built an Easier Way to Track Personal Spending
Key topics
So I decided to fix that for myself. I built a simple dashboard that breaks down my spending by category each month, and then shows trends across months.
I’ve been using it for a while now and it’s been a game changer — I even found a few hundred dollars in forgotten subscriptions.
After showing it to some friends, they all asked me to make it public. So I finally did. You can try it out here:

jokes aside I hope this becomes trillion dollar business but I don’t think there is a market for this in 2025. Doubt this would work even if it cost $1.99/ month (roughly the max I would pay)
