Smarter than a spreadsheet. Cheaper than YNAB. Easier than open-source.
Hi, I'm a university student majoring in finance. BudgetTracker was born out of my own frustration — every budgeting app I tried was either too simple, too complex, or wanted a monthly subscription. So I decided to build my own. This tool keeps your data 100% local — no cloud, no account, just software you own. BudgetTracker is a standalone, offline personal finance app for Windows. No sign-up, no cloud, no account — just download, double-click, and start managing your money immediately. All data stays on your local machine in a SQLite database. Get an instant snapshot of your financial health with three key metrics: Savings Rate (rated Excellent/Good/Warning), Emergency…from 3514165579.itch.io

RayApr 2026 · rayfinance.app · ▲298I've been using this daily for 4 months and figured others might find it useful. This is my first open source project so would love any feedback. Ray connects to your bank via Plaid, stores everything in an encrypted local SQLite database, and lets you ask questions about your finances in natural language. No cloud, no account, your data is stored on your machine. Before anything reaches the LLM, all PII is stripped — your name, companies, transaction details are redacted and replaced with tokens, then rehydrated locally in the response. The AI never sees who you are.
ZerosumFeb 2026 · zerosum.so · ▲3I've been a YNAB user for years but couldn't justify $109/yr for an app where I never used bank sync. So I built my own. ZeroSum is zero-based budgeting (same envelope method) with a full YNAB import wizard — bring your entire budget history over. 50+ currencies, shared budgets, analytics, keyboard shortcuts. $40/yr. Stack: React (Vite + TanStack Router) on Cloudflare Pages, Hono + tRPC on Render. Happy to talk about the technical decisions. Try it free for 35 days: https://zerosum.so
I built a 1‑dollar feedback tool as a Sunday side projectDec 2025 · onedollarfeedback.com · ▲21I’ve always found it funny how simple feedback widgets end up as $20–$30/month products. The tech is dead simple, infra is cheap, and most of us here could rebuild one in a weekend. So as a “principle experiment” I built my own today as a side project and priced it at 1 dollar. Just because if something is cheap to run and easy to replicate, it should be priced accordingly, and it’s also fun marketing. 1$ feedback tool. Shipped today, got the first users/moneys today, writing this post today. Side Sunday project, then back to the main product tomorrow.

Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
