I have tried so many apps to get my financial shit together, but I always end up returning to my Google Spreadsheet-based system. One worksheet for each pay period. No tracking of transactions. Just columns for who's owed what and how much I'll have left after everyone is paid. Things aren't always perfect, but I have a groove and that's what matters.

Anything you are missing from the spreadsheets? I started like you myself and it just wasn't good enough to make projections and fit those transactions that happen every three months for my austrian health/pension.

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…

Are there no budgeting apps that use plaid for transactions?

(full disclosure, I work at Plaid)

Some of the more popular budgeting apps that are built on Plaid include Empower, Clarity Money, and Albert.

I particularly like to use HoneyDue, which is built for couples!

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.

It's a small world :)

Exactomundo, amigo :)

You apparently either have zero bees, or only have twice as many bees as the others. Is this what you meant to say?

It's just a catchy headline, it doesn't really make sense but is comical/nonsense so it makes you stop and pay attention to it. I think it's brilliant.

I just get irked that people continuously misuse 300% increase, etc.

There's no privacy policy on this site (I did a custom Google search on the site to check if I'd somehow missed it). So my serious question is why anyone should trust this platform even for a trial. It's 2018, and it's unforgivable for a site, especially one that stores financial information, not to have a clear privacy policy and commitment.

@Ildar, if you see this comment, this is the first thing you should address before anything else (and also state how any policy you put affects past data collected).

You know, HoneyDue is one of those rare things where a blockchain (just between the couple's devices) would make sense.

I used to love YNAB, but once I started needing real support for multiple currencies, I had to stop using it. I haven't found a daily driver replacement since, and I've tried around 10 apps. I even started writing my own, although it's not done. Does HoneyMoney support multiple currencies?

Yep. All the currencies you want. Even bitcoin. It will even take into account your default currency when displaying it's symbol. For example, for me Canadian dollar is simply "$", but US dollar is "US$". For US it will be the other way around: "$" for USD and "CA$" for CAD.

like they once said about gender: currency is a text field.

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 .…

Thank you. Too jovial? The app itself has fewer bees per square pixel than promo website. Check out the demo: https://demo.honeymoney.io

Eh, I'm a grouch. It's so happy, carefree, cute and just straight up adorable I found it to be unprofessional. But. Everyone here likes it for the larger part. That's how I frame the website, you could almost disregard my opinion.

It's clear to see that the happy, carefree and cute design is what you were going for and you've nailed it! :)
