An iOS budget app I've been maintaining since 2011
I’ve been building and selling software since the early 2000s, starting with classic shareware. In 2011, I moved into the App Store world and built an iOS budget app because I needed a simple way to track my own expenses. At the time, my plan was to replace a few larger shareware projects with several smaller apps to spread the risk. That didn’t quite work out — one app, MoneyControl, quickly grew so much that it became my main focus. Fifteen years later, the app is still on the App Store, still actively developed, and still used by people who started with version 1.0. Many apps from that…

I made a super simple iOS app to track expenses2023 · apps.apple.com · ▲55My Expenses is a very simple app to track expenses for one-time budgets. Let's say you're going on vacations in Italy and you want to allocate $1.500 to this trip. You create a budget "Italy" in 30 seconds and you're ready to go. Each time you make an expense in Italy, you add it to the app in a few seconds and you instantly know you're remaining budget. I'm bored of super complex apps. Yes, they do a lot of things, but it often takes a while to get used to the app and understand all its features. That's why I created this app. I want people to be able to track their expenses in seconds, as…
Budgt2015 · budgt.ch · ▲75I built BUDGT in 2013 as a broke student who needed one answer: "how much can I spend today without going broke this month?" It divides your monthly budget into a daily allowance — one number, updated in real time as you log expenses. 13 years and thousands of users later, I rebuilt the whole thing from scratch. The original Objective-C app couldn't support what users were asking for (analytics, category budgets), so I moved to Flutter and rewrote every screen. What's different: - Full redesign with a modern UI - Analytics: spending pace, month-over-month, day-of-week patterns, top expenses…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
