That looks pretty! I would definitely try this. Could you tell me more about budgeting? Do you have some way to handle "recurrent savings" (e.g 10% from each income)?

It looks a bit too complicated, doesn't it? Does it cost that to dive into it?

Why do you choose this way? It seems to be a bit complicated, doesn't it?
One spreadsheet with two worksheets and two python scripts seems fairly simple to me. No third party, no feeds, no sharing data, nothing. And it just works.
Hmm, in that case, it should works

Looks like a great product, will checkout!
Curious, how do you do your change log? Is it automated or do you just update a page/doc?

Thanks!
The changelog is a manual effort right now :) Haven't felt the need to automate it or pay for another SaaS to handle it for me yet!

We don't support any saving goals right now, but we've gotten feedback that users want this. We do show you charts so you can easily compare your expenses vs your income.
The budgeting feature is on a monthly basis and you can choose which categories to allow budgeting and you'll be presented with charts showing you your spending habits vs budgeted spend to help you make your decisions.
Hope that helps, if you have any other questions or feature requests, my email is wide open :) (jen at lunchmoney.app)
