Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the maker behind Cabova. I’m a Program Manager by day and, after a long hiatus from hands-on coding, I decided to dive back into the "builder" experience to solve a problem that was driving me crazy: The Spreadsheet Trap. My entire financial future was hidden in a 15-tab Excel sheet. It was slow, fragile, and I spent more time fixing broken formulas than actually planning. I wanted a dedicated engine that could show me—with precision—when I could actually stop working (what I call my "Freedom Age"). I built Cabova to be that engine. Most finance apps are ledgers—they show you where your money went. Cabova is a simulator—it shows you where your money is going. Why I built it this way: 🔒 Privacy-First: I didn't want my bank data in the cloud. Cabova has zero bank links. Your data stays locally on your phone. 📈 The Freedom Engine: It doesn't just track bills; it simulates pensions, mortgages, and investments over 30+ years. 🔀 "What If" Logic: Want to see the impact of a 1% interest rate change or an extra €100/mo contribution on your retirement date? It’s one tap away. While I initially built this for the Irish market (handling our specific tax and pension system), I’ve added manual inputs so anyone globally can use the engine to model their future. I’m really looking for constructive feedback on the onboarding flow and the Freedom Age logic. Does the simulation make sense to you? What’s missing? I’ll be here all day to answer your questions. Thanks for taking a look! 🚀
