We don't support any saving goals right now, but we've gotten feedback that users want this. We do show you charts so you can easily compare your expenses vs your income. The budgeting feature is on a monthly basis and you can cho

Thanks! The changelog is a manual effort right now :) Haven't felt the need to automate it or pay for another SaaS to handle it for me yet!

Hello, I'm the author here! I took some time to reflect last night on how I got to where I am today. Crazy to think that I started my first full-time job over 7 years ago. I'm happy to share the unconventional path my career and l

These are really great questions, thanks for asking! 1. Every transaction is stored in its original currency. The conversion to your primary currency happens on demand. 2. We fetch daily currency rates so it should more-or-less accurately r

We definitely recognize the aversion of using a service like Plaid, and we are working on more ways beyond that to import your transactions. Thanks for the feedback!

Currently our recurring expense feature only supports monthly and yearly expenses. We have thought about expanding this to also support "upcoming expenses" which is what your driver's license cost would fit under. We have got

Thanks for signing up anyway! That'll put you on our mailing list, so you can receive product updates. We'll be working on more ways beyond Plaid to import transactions.

This is a web-based app, so as long as you have a modern browser, yes it works on Linux :)

Nailed it. I've worked on a React Native app before and honestly, didn't love it. I did my research on Flutter and love the motivation and execution behind it. Also, being able to quickly get to the first prototype and having way

Congratulations on graduating college and good luck with the upcoming move! We currently use Plaid to connect to bank accounts which unfortunately only supports US/Canadian banks, so you might be out of luck for now if you were hoping

I would say that there are definitely similarities between Lunch Money and the envelope system, but the main differentiator lies in the execution and psychology behind it. The envelope system is pretty strict and while there are some good p

I would actually say that because you are a YNAB'er, you are not my target audience. Lunch Money works best for first-time budgeters because they don't have a previous foundation for budgeting. The Lunch Money philosophy is fundam

Hey, I realized I misread your original comment and I wanted to address the points you're making. There isn't any writeup on the security for how it works other than my privacy policy ( https://lunchmoney.cc/privacy

I haven't done extensive research in this yet, so I'm happy to hear this suggestion of using more specialized formats. I'll keep those in mind when I do get to this feature. Thank you!

I suppose it could be more clear that you would be _locking in_ that pricing, so there is no need to worry about that shooting up to something crazy after a period of usage :)

Hi there, thanks for the feedback! For specifics on security around connecting to your bank, I would actually defer to the third-party service that Lunch Money and many other financial apps use: Plaid ( https://plaid.com ). Here&#

Perhaps the red I used was a poor colour choice, but it's not red because you're under/over budget. Just needed a contrasting colour to show the two different lines! Feedback noted however, thanks for sharing!

I would say Lunch Money is totally different from YNAB. We tried to rethink most aspects of budgeting and came up with our own philosophy of how to best approach it. My target audience isn't YNAB'ers since I know most of them are
