I built a voice-only expense tracker that logs spending in 3 seconds

I kept giving up on expense tracking apps. Too many taps, too many screens just to log a coffee. So I built VoiceOnlyLedger - you long-press the mic, say something like "coffee 5 dollars", release, and it's done. Auto-categorized into Food, Transport, Shopping, etc. What makes it different: - All processing happens on-device. No cloud, no accounts, zero data collection - Optional iCloud sync across your Apple devices - $0.99 one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no ads - Tiny 1.2 MB app size It's on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Would love to hear what you think - especially what features would make you actually stick with expense tracking long-term.

The feature that almost killed our product was the one users asked for the most

For months, our most requested feature at Murror was a chat function. Users wanted to talk to the AI the way they talk to a friend. It seemed obvious. Every competitor had it. Every feedback form mentioned it.

So we built it.

It featured individuals who managed to build significant profit while running their businesses solo, without employees. Until now, I ve seen these more as exceptions rather than the norm.
