Before the relaunch tomorrow, closing the loop on what the comments in this thread actually turned into:

@thesnappingdog asked what I'd build around next, and I said surfacing perk usage more clearly. That became the center of the whole app: a ring on your home screen showing what your cards have paid back and what's still sitting there. Across 500+ wallets now, the average is about $2,600 a year uncaptured. Watching people react to their own number taught me more than any roadmap.

@hansel_pahmer asked for smarter receipt and claims handling. That became a better Claims Prep: helps you prepare a claim and store the documentation before something goes wrong. The automatic purchase detection part of your idea stays on the list, and honestly it may stay there a while, because doing it properly would mean connecting your bank, and no bank linking is a rule I'm not breaking.

@busmark_w_nika asked if it's US-only. The database went deeper instead of just wider: we now know which cards real wallets actually hold and added those first, the benefit data now comes from issuer benefit guides with much more accuracy, and new countries keep landing, Colombia most recently.

Launch day is done. Top 15 out of 150+ launches, and it happened because you showed up: every upvote, every question, every piece of honest feedback in this thread. Thank you.

Six months ago the first version of Norte landed in the thirties. The picture shows what changed in between: I wrote the company down. One folder of markdown files runs the brand, the funnel, the content, the emails. AI does the volume. I hold the gate.

To everyone who signed up today: your first perk capture is the whole point. Go find the dinner your card already paid for. And keep the feedback coming, the last 500 users rebuilt this app once already, and this thread is already shaping what ships next.

What's New: Just shipped major improvements to Norte based on feedback from power users managing complex wallets:

Smarter AI assistant - Now pulls full document context instead of keyword matches. Reads across multiple policy sections to catch exclusions and limits.

Redesigned perk tracker - Built for people with redundant benefits (2 Priority Pass memberships, overlapping coverage). Shows what you're actually using vs. paying for.

Better card recommendations - Considers your actual insurance coverage, not just earn rates. Amex Green 3x vs CSR primary coverage, with context.

I'm excited about this update:
I keep seeing creators on IG and TT selling courses and spreadsheets to help you manage how you use your credit cards. So I gave it a try and built a feature to help with that for Norte users:
It's a new Planner view that lets you compare your cards side-by-side for a specific scenario: coverage and points, using your actual wallet.

No recommendations, no scores. Just the fact that you would normally calculate by hand.
Would love feedback from anyone who optimize cards or travel often.

We ve been shipping fast based on early user feedback.

Here s what s new in Norte:

Hey everyone!
The response since launch has honestly blown me away. Thank you to everyone who tried Norte, asked questions, and shared feedback. I wanted to give a quick update on what s new and what we re learning:
What s new

Plan-specific claim steps

When you add a trip or rental, Norte now shows the exact claim requirements for your card. No guesswork when things go sideways.
