What it does

Less of a budgeting app, more of a tracking app. Think "MyFitnessPal for Money". The goal is to switch from living cheque to cheque to mindful awareness of spending so you can live within your means.

Simply enter your recurring expenses and income to calculate your weekly discretionary amount, then track your ad hoc spending throughout the week.

Participate in your cash flow. Know your means. Completely free. Some of your income and expenses are recurring (rent, paycheck, bills). Enter these in first to calculate your weekly discretionary amount. Some of your income and expenses are ad hoc. Enter in your ad hoc purchases and bonuses throughout the week. Always keep an eye on how much you have remaining week to week. It's that simple. Optionally you can "absorb" bigger expenses or income, to spread them out across multiplefrom daylibread.com

    My 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…

    Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
