Hey everyone! I'm finally ready to share something I've been working on.

So here's the thing - my wife and I were constantly arguing about money. Not because we didn't have enough, but because we could never figure out who spent what, where our budget was going, and whether we were actually saving for that new car we kept talking about. Every finance app I tried was not built for us.

That's how Famverge was born.

What it does:

    You can create a group "space" and invite whoever (spouse, roommates, even your financially responsible teenager)

    Everyone can log expenses and incomes, but you control who sees what with custom permissions

    Scan receipts with your camera and it figures out what you bought or got money from automatically

    Talk to it - literally just say "I spent 15 bucks on lunch" and it logs it

    See where all your money actually goes or comes from with some pretty neat charts
The thing I'm most proud of? Everything is encrypted end-to-end. I don't want to see your financial data any more than you want me to.

Cool stuff it can do:

    Handle 156 currencies

    Switch between your personal money stuff and group stuff instantly

    Voice input when you're too lazy to type


Would love to hear what you think! I'm still actively developing it, so if something sucks or you want a feature, just let me know.

The author created a receipt scanner and expense manager, Famverge, to help their family track finances, and is now sharing it with the HN community, seeking feedback.
