What it does

Most personal finance apps focus on tracking transactions and visualizing data through charts and reports. UseKYN introduces a financial clarity-first approach, surfacing only the numbers that matter instead of requiring users to interpret financial data. The platform combines cash flow, net worth, debt, investments, savings goals, recurring commitments, and Safe to Spend into a single experience designed to simplify financial decision-making.

UseKYN is the privacy-first personal finance app — real dollar amounts, plain English, and your data stays yours. Money Flow, Safe to Spend, Commitments (subscription tracker), True Cost of Debt, per-holding investments. A better alternative to Monarch Money, YNAB, Rocket Money, and Mint. 14-day free trial.

UseKYN turns your accounts into one clear answer. Real dollars. Plain English. No spreadsheets, no charts, no surveillance. From scattered accounts to a clear picture of your money — in under five minutes. Connect your bank, brokerage, and credit cards in seconds via Plaid — or set them up manually if you prefer. Income, spending, debt, investments — all calculated, categorized, and translated into real dollar answers. One screen, plain English. Know what you can spend, what your debt really costs, and where to grow next. Income vs. expenses. Transfers separated automatically. Most-frequent charges surfaced — so you stop wondering and start seeing. UseKYN looks at upcoming bills, recurring…from usekyn.com

    I'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.

    Factor.fyi – use SQL to visualize financial, crypto and econ datasets2022 · factor.fyi · ▲7

    Hey HN, I'm Steve, co-founder of Factor.fyi, a new data platform for querying and visualizing financial datasets using SQL. During the pandemic, I took much more of an active role in managing my portfolio. I wanted to be able to make informed decisions about the investments I was making, and explore financial data in new ways. Market and Econ data are some of the most talked-about and widely-available datasets out there, but I was frustrated by the lack of options to answer questions I had, like, "What would have happened if I had started dollar-cost averaging VTI back in 2013?"[1] Or, "How…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
