Truffle - Your personal, manual monthly budget tracker.

by
Truffle is a purposefully manual, super simple budget tracker for a clear view of your monthly finances. Log your outgoings and check them off once they've been paid. See exactly how much you've got going in, going out, and what's left to pay each month.

The Problem: I'm the kind of person who tracks my monthly bills in a Google Docs spreadsheet. I like to see everything laid out clearly, know exactly how much I've got coming in and going out each month, and manually check things off every couple of days as they're paid. I've tried automated apps like Mint/Yolt, but I don't love giving apps access to my bank data, and I find they often miscategorise things or become too noisy and confusing. The Solution: So, I built Truffle. It's a purposefully manual and feature-light web app where you input your monthly income and outgoings. As you pay your bills (e.g., rent, Spotify, phone), you just click a button to mark it as 'Paid'. It calculates what you've paid, what's left to pay, and what your projected monthly surplus will be. It's basically a much nicer version of my old spreadsheet. Features: - Personal & joint account tracking - Manual check-offs for payments/bills/expenses/outgoings - Clear surplus/deficit projection - Categorisation and drag-and-drop functionality - Currency selector (£, $, €) - No sign-up/account needed. It just saves your data in your browser's local storage (upside: super simple / downside: data isn't synced across devices and could be cleared with your cache) - It's completely free It's built and deployed on Lovable. I'm planning to add dark mode and maybe a couple more features soon but I'm going to prioritise keeping it super simple with a clean UI over adding unnecessary features. You can try it out here: https://truffle-personal-finance... It's also featured here on Lovable Launched: https://launched.lovable.dev/tru... so any upvotes or comments would be appreciated
