I've been working on a local-first personal finance/expense tracker called Tender: https://tender.run https://tender.run Tender runs as a PWA and uses the Automerge crdt and sqlite via wasm. The app more or less runs entirely in your browser (works offline!), though our server proxies connections to pull in plaid/splitwise data. Feature-wise, we're targeting folks who do want to manage their expenses but not have to do fine-grained budgeting. There's tools for tracking getting paid back and a splitwise integration as well. The app is desktop-centric right now, but we're working on getting a good mobile workflow together too. Since everything is browser-based, it was actually quite easy to get a demo sandbox environment working. You can give it a quick spin here: https://demo.tender.run https://demo.tender.run

It's definitely something I need. I don't need anything really complicated. I've actually been looking for a service like this for a while. Tried Mint once, but thought it was just a bit too much.

Hey, so you may not be targeting this particular market but it is adjacent and something I would pay $5-10 a month for. Have you considered expanding this eventually into a Empower (formerly Personal Capital) competitor? What I mainly use from them is: - investment performance tracking across my various accounts. - retirement planning/forecasting - cash flow, expense, and income tracking overtime. - warnings about upcoming credit card bills; amount is never right but I pay my statement in full so just a little thing saying “Hey this is going to hit your account on this date” is helpful for me. - basic budgeting Anyway a local first privacy respecting alternative I would definitely pay for. iPad support would be a must for me. Just some unsolicited feedback. Best of luck EDIT: forgot to mention the reason I am looking for alternatives. Empower bought Personal Capital and are getting much more aggressive in pushing their management services. So, I figure it is only a matter of time before they either start selling my data or cut me off since I am not interested in anything they are selling. They have really nice iOS apps though.

  Hah - I too am a former personal capital (and mint) user. We've thought about if we want to tackle those features and become an all-encompassing personal finance, but it certainly is a wide feature set to cover for our team. Right now we're focused on polishing our small feature set, though I appreciate the feedback.

The 1-liner description reminded me of https://actualbudget.com/ https://actualbudget.com/, which I think is mostly defunct now since the main author took a day job (looked very cool at the time but I never tried it unfortunately). Open source too.
