Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Brian, the solo founder behind Boreal. I’ve spent years building software in finance, and one thing kept bothering me: most personal-finance tools either expect people to constantly maintain a detailed budget, or they were designed for the US first and treat Canadians as an afterthought. I built Boreal to be a lower-maintenance way to understand your money. Connect your accounts and Boreal: • Brings your financial picture into one place • Automatically organizes and categorizes transactions • Highlights changes in spending, income, and cash flow • Generates personalized monthly insights and forward-looking projections The goal isn’t to give people another dashboard they have to manage. It’s to explain what changed, why it matters, and what they should pay attention to next. I’ve also tried to be deliberate about how Boreal uses AI. The financial calculations are handled deterministically, while AI is used to turn those results into a clear, useful explanation. Boreal is still early, which is exactly why I’m launching it here. I’d especially appreciate feedback on: • Whether the value is clear before connecting an account • What would make the onboarding experience feel more trustworthy • Which insights would make Boreal worth returning to each month Thanks for taking a look. I’ll be around throughout the day to answer questions and hear what you would change.
