Jotter: Expense Tracker App

Buy-once finance app. No bank login, no subscription.

What it does

Hey! Spent the last few years as an iOS dev on some pretty big apps. Jotter is me testing whether I can do the indie thing on my own. Launched it as a subscription, but a year in I couldn't justify billing people monthly for something this simple. It's now a one-off $4.99. Manual expense entry, budgets, recurring bills, spending charts, iCloud sync, Home Screen widgets. No bank login. No servers. No ads. A quiet app that helps you actually notice where your money goes.

    I made a super simple iOS app to track expenses2023 · apps.apple.com · ▲55

    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.

    I built an inbox-zero expense tracker with CRDTs and SQLite in browser2023 · tender.run · ▲8

    Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a small personal finance tool called Tender for the better part of a year. I got tired of doing expenses by hand - going through several accounts to figure out refunds, subscription cancellations, getting paid back via venmo, etc. I’d get to the point where I’d have to go through months of transactions at a time if I got lazy and fell behind. The workflow in Tender is centered around getting to inbox-zero. Transactions leave the inbox when they’re categorized and there’s a basic rules engine for automation. You can also do things like add notes, set…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
