Interesting tool. I would maybe use this tool if it had some kind of api. I want to be able to have my bot post financial data to my account in HoneyMoney automatically, is this possible? I haven't found any info regarding this. If someone with an account know of such an api I would sign up.
Not to nitpick: > 100% more Bees than any other personal finance software 100% over a zero is still a zero.
As nice as the tool and the insights it provides, the pain point is manually entering all the transactions. It is 2018, and we still dont have a easy way of exporting our transactions from the bank in a standard way. Every bank wants to use their own way of exporting it. I was seriously considering using Plaid API[1] to build an app that would download my transactions automatically, categorise it, and prompt me to on…
There're a lot of tools which will automatically import your transactions. HoneyMoney chooses the different way, trying to make tracking and planning a habit, promoting the idea that nobody can do this work for you.
It just tries to simplify the process and make it enjoyable.
I use Mint but generally, am not trilled with it. 1. I have a hard time managing my bank account AND my main credit card. Mint seems to think me paying off my credit card bill is another expense, however Mint already tracked the CC charges so basically Mint thinks I run a massive loss every month (yes I've tried fixing this, multiple times) 2. Other than reviewing your newest transactions, and the occasional useful b…
All the recurring transactions are planned once, and then you just confirm them with the real amount.
Basically, we're talking about 15–20 minutes per week for increasing your awareness about money and to keep your financial life under control.
This is work, nobody will do it for you. You just need to decide if it's worth it to you personally or not.
This is great copy writing / presentation. The non slick design comes across as being personal, cheerful and nerdy. I think it works very well for what you are trying to sell.

This is what I came to find. It was so refreshing to see some charming imperfections that make the design so much more personal, feeling old school while still maintaining a modern flow to the page.
wow, HM's on HN :) good to see it here. I've been personally using HM for about 5 yrs now and can say that satisfies all my need. No ocr for receipts, but hey, who's got that the proper way? As for me I do not need such detalisation to follow, for a food purchases I just use categories and subcats.
Oh wow this is super cool. IME the hardest part of using this kind of accounting software is to keep using it over time, because entering transactions is super boring, and it's hard to build the habit. Right now, since all my expenses come from one bank account, I export the data from the bank and use a bunch of excel sheets to keep track of stuff, but of course is a quite limited system. I was wondering if HoneyMone…
Manually tracking expenses seems harder than it actually is. For example, I just collect all the receipts for 3-4 days, and then spend 5 minutes to enter them in batch.

There's an import from CSV for historical data. Here's the demo: https://demo.honeymoney.io/app/my/import

You can get used to it quite quickly and it is really useful. By adding your expenses right after the purchase you're all the time up-to-date with your budget. You know where you're with your plans, whether they need any modifications or not. I restarted using YNAB this January after a 2 years long pause and now I have again money at the end of the month. :>
YNAB4's desktop software has been my GOTO buggering (budgeting... I'll leave the typo in for laughs...) suite for years. Unfortunate it is no longer sold and they opted for a subscription model but it can still be found via nefarious methods. I'll give this a look over and see how it works. Personally I like YNAB's process of allowing manual transactions to be added but supporting other file exports from banks like .…
Too jovial?
The app itself has fewer bees per square pixel than promo website. Check out the demo: https://demo.honeymoney.io
