Cashmonki – local-first expense tracker that scans receipts and roasts spending
- dcardines03 10mo agoi built cashmonki, a personal finance app for people who know they should budget but hate doing it. most budgeting apps fail me in two ways: they require too much manual input they feel abstract, so i ignore them cashmonki is opinionated around fixing that. what it does scan receipts instead of typing expenses simple budgets with clear daily limits optional “roast” feedback so spending feels real, not theoretical local-first storage. your data stays on your device works offline. no bank syncing required one small feature people like: you can set a daily budget for things like coffee, and it auto shows what that habit costs you per year. seeing “this latte is a $900/year decision” hits differently. why i built it i kept losing money to forgotten expenses and “small” habits. spreadsheets didn’t stick. bank apps didn’t help me change behavior. i wanted something faster, lighter, and a bit more honest. status iOS app free to use with limits paid tier unlocks more history and features no accounts required site: https://cashmonki.app https://cashmonki.app i’d love feedback from hn on: whether local-first makes sense here what’s missing for power users what would make this actually replace your current setup happy to answer questions. thanks for reading.
