Most budgeting apps track where your money goes. Mindspend tracks how you feel about it. Every purchase gets one of three emotion tags: worth it, okay, or regret. No categories, no bank linking, no complicated setup. Just one simple question after each purchase: how did that feel? After a few weeks, you see your spending patterns through a completely different lens. It's not about restricting yourself. It's about understanding yourself.

Curious what happens with "okay" over time - does it tend to drift toward regret or worth it as people use the app longer? That middle category feels like where the most interesting behavioral data would live.

@spunchev That's exactly the kind of question I love, you're thinking about it the right way. Honestly, I don't have enough long-term data yet to say definitively, but my hunch is that 'okay' is where the most interesting shifts happen. It's the category where awareness does the most work, once you see how much of your spending lives there, it either gets reframed as 'actually worth it' or quietly moves to regret. The middle ground is rarely neutral forever. Would love to revisit this in a few months with real data 😄
This is a really interesting angle on budgeting. I'd love to see this go further. Imagine if it could integrate with e-commerce platforms and show how other buyers felt about the same product over time. Like an emotional review layer on top of your purchase history. With sites like Amazon flooded with fake reviews, something like this could become a genuinely trustworthy way to judge whether a purchase is worth it.
Sounds like a great idea to solve overspending, and it would be nice for it to sync with budget trackers people already may use (e.g. Notion) for bigger picture budgeting / factoring in necessary spending such as rent and utility bills. How does Mindspend know your transactions, do you have to manually input them?

@vato_mikaberidze Thank you, that means a lot! 🙏
Really interesting angle — most budgeting apps make you feel guilty about spending. Focusing on how it felt instead of just the category is a much more honest way to understand your habits. Congrats on the launch 👍
