Everyone’s chasing AI hype. I built a Google Sheet and it quietly took off. In 2020, I made it to track my own finances for income, expenses, savings, yearly summaries etc. I shared it once on Reddit, forgot about it for a year… When I checked back, it had over 130k views and I was honestly stoked! No launch. No funding. No AI. Just a spreadsheet people actually stick with and find useful. I finally gave it a proper home: write-it-down.com Now, more than 2,300 people use it. It’s intentionally boring and that’s why it works. People don’t always need AI. They just need something that actually…

Quanta▲120Hello! I’m an engineer who has spent the majority of my career building financial systems and ledgers in fintech. A theme across those years was how painful traditional accounting software was to use, so I set out to build something better with Quanta. The best way to get started was by building software that would enable the best full-service accounting experience, as well as help business owners understand their business. If you have a software business, I’d love for you to check out our free trial. Any feedback appreciated. Thank you!

Hi HN! I’m a solo iOS dev who kept losing track of where my grocery and shopping money was going, so I built ReceiptIQ Pro. What it does: - Scan any receipt with on-device AI/OCR and instantly categorize the items. - Auto-build spending charts, budgets, and exportable CSVs—no manual typing. - Works offline; iCloud backup/restore optional. No data leaves your phone unless you choose to. - Small extras: warranty reminders, bill tracking, and income logging. Tech bits: - Swift/SwiftUI on iOS. - Apple’s Vision framework + my own ML post-processing. - A lightweight Python backend…

Treasury AI▲20Hi HN! I'm excited to share that Treasury (https://treasury.sh) is now available on the iOS App Store. Treasury is a personal finance app I've been building, and we just opened up our public beta. We'd love your feedback. Currently, Treasury has a set of core building blocks that let you create financial setups as simple or as complex as you want. You can track your net worth, analyze spending, spot recurring transactions, and build budgets that actually match how you think about money. Download it from the App Store and let me know what you think.

Hey HN, I’m the founder of SyncAI. Previously, I was building internal tools for a fintech startup. We tried using GPT-4 Vision and various OCR APIs to automate our Accounts Payable. They worked great for ~90% of documents. The problem was the other 10%: crumpled receipts, handwritten delivery notes, or invoices with weird layouts. In fintech, a 90% success rate isn’t automation; it’s a liability. We spent more time fixing the AI’s hallucinations than if we had just typed it manually. I realized that for high-stakes operations, we didn’t need "better AI"—we needed a Safety Layer. So I built…

Hi HN, I run a small ecommerce shop and, until recently, spent way too many evenings copy-pasting supplier invoices into Excel so my books stayed clean and my expense tracking was granular. It finally hit me that I’d rather invest that time in code than in Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, so I built ParsePoint.app. Why I built it • Manual invoice entry was swallowing 4 hours every month. • Accounting software APIs felt heavyweight for my use-case; I really just wanted clean rows in a spreadsheet. • I love tinkering with AI models and needed an excuse to spin one up in production. What it does 1. Upload a…

OpBoard▲7I’m a financial analyst, and for years I managed our family budget in a massive Excel sheet. I loved the control, but it eventually became an "unpaid second job" of fixing broken CSV formats and patching formulas. The real problem: The spreadsheet was a barrier, not a bridge. It didn’t help me have better money conversations at home. Telling my wife “Dining is high” wasn't helpful; we needed to see where we were overspending (e.g., that one specific cafe vs. grocery runs) without me having to act as a "human pivot table" every Sunday night. I didn't want an app that required our bank…

Claim.Watch▲21Today I received the official confirmation: Claim Watch just won the Best Product Award at the Half Baked x Bolt Founder Hackathon. There were 20,000+ participants globally. I made the TOP 5, and then 130,000 people voted for Claim Watch to win first place ($7,500 prize). First-week impact: 1,000+ active users 1,000+ settlements identified $800k+ recovered for people I built this during the hackathon, and now it seems to be turning into a real product. Happy to answer questions about the tech, stack, or how the system works.

hey hn – mint is gone, the clones feel like bloatware, and afaict every “personal finance” app still assumes you love staring at pie charts for fun. i don’t. so i built peek. - ai-first: an ai agent does the number-crunching and pings you with bite-sized nudges instead of guilt-trips - habit loop > dashboard: get weekly “wrapped”-style digests that actually push you towards forming new positive habits, not just remind you you spent too much on coffee - mobile-only rn (ios) bc that’s where gen z actually lives link:…

Hi Hacker News, Gil and Sam here, co-founders of Astra (https://astra.finance). Astra is mission control for your money and our new iOS app helps you achieve your personal savings goals — automatically. We built Astra because we were frustrated by the lack of smart tools out there to help manage our cash flow. Maintaining a complicated spreadsheet to manage our finances month to month and pay down debt as quickly as possible was a time-consuming headache. We built a web app last fall that mirrored a lot of the financial modeling we were doing manually but learned that our users…

Spentrip▲12Hey HN, TL;DR I shipped a generic expense app (Receiptix) in July 2024. After seven months of effort it plateaued at $100 MRR, and I hardly used it myself. In February 2025, after a year of working on the project, I decided to reflect on what to do next and I also realised that I actually do use the app but only while traveling. So I niched down and rebuilt it as Spentrip. First week live: $100 in sales - already matching Receiptix’s peak. Last July I shipped Receiptix, a track-anything expense app. I thought that, by entering into a very packed market, I could capture a slice of the pie.…
