Spendless

Hello PH gang! I'm launching Spendless—the mindful spending tracker built to end your financial confusion. I'm thrilled to have your support and hear your thoughts on mindful spending! Why I Built Spendless 🛠️ Like many of you, I noticed two main problems with budgeting apps today that always frustrated me: Configuration Overload: Traditional budgeting is a time sink. You're forced into hours of setup: linking banks, fixing endless miscategorized transactions, and wrestling with rigid rules. It's too much work before you even start tracking. Tracking vs. Awareness: Other apps show what you bought ('Coffee'), but never why ('Rituals' or 'Rewards'). If you don't know the purchase's real purpose, you can't change the habit. That's the key to ending the "where did it go?" mystery. I believe achieving financial wellness shouldn't feel like a punishment or require giving up every ounce of privacy. I designed Spendless to make awareness simple, fast, and 100% judgment-free. My Solution: Mindful Spending Made Simple Spendless is a Progressive Web App (PWA) built on the philosophy of Mindful Spending. It helps you answer the question, "Why did I spend that?" not just what you bought. How does it work? 🧘 Mindful Entry, Not Bank Linking: I deliberately chose not to link to your bank. By manually logging expenses, you create a crucial moment of reflection with every purchase, guaranteeing awareness. 🎯 Purpose-Driven Tracking: Inspired by the Japanese Kakeibo method, you categorize spending by its purpose (Essentials, Growth, Rewards, Connection) to build sustainable habits. 🔒 Privacy Guaranteed: Your data stays yours, always. No ads, no selling information, ever. 🔄 Total Flexibility: Set up spending periods (weekly, monthly, or fortnightly) and custom wallets that actually match your payday schedule and lifestyle. What's next? I'm pumped to welcome new users to Spendless. I am actively developing new features (like trend analysis and mood tracking), and your feedback directly shapes what I build next. Spendless is a PWA, meaning you can install it instantly on any phone or desktop—no app store needed. You can check it out and start tracking your spending today!
