Looks great. UI looks top notch and I agree this is something I might want for personal use.

I interviewed at a start up in NYC looking to do something almost identical about 6 months ago, just FYI for competition sake. I looked you guys up on angellist so I know you aren't them. Cheers.

Great idea, but I get spooked easily. I signed up, figured I'd add GitHub, saw "This application will be able to delete any repository to which you have admin rights," and ran away.

Thanks for you feedback. I get it, we had a few people say this. We're working on limiting what GitHub can do, whilst retaining usefulness.

Despite the admin rights, we don't include that functionality to delete repos. All we do is calculate and display cost, show relevant contextual info such as repos and organizations.

Again, we're rethinking how to limit things.

Cheers!

As just one guy, I have subscriptions/billing/licences for a ton of things: Adobe CC, Jetbrains, Sketch, AWS, GCP, DO, Deploybot, Dropbox, Arq, Shopify and others in addition to all the more "personal" stuff like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, Pandora, Canary... I get why this is aimed at SME teams, but even one-man-teams/freelancers would find this super handy. I got excited and signed up only to realize of t…

Ok.. some food for thought. Thanks for your feedback!

I too would be really interested in this if it had a more expansive list of services available... though $29/mo for it for personal use seems like a bit much to me.

Great job! Unubo is an awesome interface for a potentially useful product!

A few notes: - Github permissions seem excessive. You require: - Personal user date: full access - Repos: public and private - Delete repos - Read and write Gists - Access to all available organization - Dropbox requires access to all my files rather than just an App folder (or a limited scope) - All of the above for Trello

I haven't tested the other apps, but I hope you can understand why I'm not willing to provide full read/write access to my code, Dropbox files and project management to a service that tracks their monthly bills. (Perhaps these are required to receive accounting info?)

Sadly these concerns have prevented me from tracking any apps as this level of access seems disproportional for the purpose of the tool.

Thanks for you feedback, really appreciate it. I definitely understand. We're currently reviewing the different apps and what access they really require to be useful. The last thing we want to do is scare people off, so again.. thanks for your input!

Thank you for your comment! Interesting thought.. if many more think the same as you, could be a possibility to add those too.
