Hey Product Hunt! I m Jon-David, a solo founder launching my app Bountisphere this coming Tuesday.
I wanted to share a quick story from today that perfectly captures why I spent the last 10 months and nearly 2,000 hours building this platform.
Today, my mother-in-law needed some unexpected yard work done. The cost: $140. Normally, a surprise expense like that creates a moment of low-level panic. Is this going to wreck my expenses for the month? Do I need to pull from savings? Am I going to overdraw my checking account next week when my mortgage hits?
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Jon-David, the solo founder of Bountisphere.
I spent thousands of hours building Bountisphere because I wanted to create a tool that cures the "anxiety of the unknown" when it comes to personal finance.
I realized that to truly ease financial stress, we need a crystal ball for our money. We need to be able to look months into the future and know exactly where we stand.
Enter Bountisphere: A forward-looking, calendar-based money management platform.
Instead of just tracking what you already spent, Bountisphere gives you great awareness of your financial future based on three core principles: Spend less, save more, and pay down debt.
Here is how it works:
🗓️ Flexibility: Build a plan for all your income and expenses. Set them to any frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, twice a month, monthly, quarterly, yearly) or add one-time, ad hoc items.
🔮 The 24-Month Crystal Ball: Your plan automatically populates your Money Calendar up to 24 months into the future.
🏦 Account-Level Projections: Because your bank accounts are linked, we project your exact future balances. Watch your savings grow over time, or see exactly how your checking and credit card balances will play out months from now.
It gives you the power to look ahead and say, "As long as I stick to my plan, I'm okay." Or, it lets you spot a cash flow gap four months out so you can shift gears today.
Building this from the ground up was a massive evolution. Initially, the hardest challenge was figuring out how to make looking at your finances feel less like a chore and more like a game. Evolving the UI to focus on a familiar calendar interface—rather than overwhelming spreadsheets—was the breakthrough that made forecasting actually enjoyable.
I would absolutely love your honest feedback on the UI, the onboarding, or the core calendar mechanic. I'll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions!
