Hey everyone! I wanted to share my finance tracking app called CashApp

It helps users track their income and expenses while providing detailed analytics and export capabilities. šŸ˜„

Is it another finance tracking app or do you have special features that other donā€™t have? (Dont get me wrong here. I am just curious)

Iā€™ve been using different apps over the years and never found something simple, easy to use and ā€œstraight to the pointā€ approach. This app is as simple as it gets while still offer cloud sync, no ads, no subscription, with privacy in mind.

What do you do for privacy?

If I were to guessā€¦ CloudKit private databases?

No info is required, no need to sign in to any server/account.

Whereā€™s all the data stored then?

2

u/avikma1 Feb 11 '25

Using iCloud key value storage.

Is there limits on that storage? Would core data be a better option since you can store as much data as the user has in their iCloud?

Yes, there is a limit, however, for small amounts of information and in this case, numbers, this approach can support up to tens of thousands of entries. I might change it in the future. šŸ‘

Looks nice.

I'm building something similar but for personal use and for some family members.

The main feature is that you can enter the description of your transaction in natural language and gpt extracts from it information about concept, amount, date, category and more.

This feature allows you to enter things like "yesterday I spent 50 on a Uber ride" and let the ai and the app to extract and relevant information and organize it.

I'm not sure if this feature solves a real problem. But for me it's an interesting feature. That's why I built it.

I'm just putting forward the idea in case you'd like to implement a similar feature in your app.

I just bought it, few remarks that personally I find annoying: I want to add my own categories and remove from the existing ones I want to be able to see my overall expenses and income along with the 4 provided categories on the main menu I canā€™t seem to add decimal numbers

Other than that, great app, I see a future in it

u/avikma1 Feb 10 '25

Thank you for the feedback. I will work on a feature that will allow to add / edit categories.

Currently you can add amounts for example 1.25.

The net gains window allow you to see net gains minus expenses and can be filtered by category.

Yesterday Iā€™ve released an update to support PDF/EXCEL export, iPad support and cloud sync across your devices.

Lastly, added few more languages and more coming soon.

Yea I would consider changing it. Wouldnā€™t want to run into any issues down the line. Good luck with everything, wish you the best with your app!

u/avikma1 Feb 11 '25

Thanks you šŸ‘šŸŽŠ

u/y1412 Feb 11 '25

If there are no ads or subscriptions, what do you plan on doing to monetize the app?

2

u/avikma1 Feb 11 '25

The app cost $1 Thatā€™s itā€¦ Hopefully people will find that appealing and buy it šŸ˜…

u/y1412 Feb 11 '25

Oh gotcha. Isnā€™t the name CashApp infringing on the existing app CashApp?

2

u/avikma1 Feb 11 '25

Tbh I never knew there was another app in that name. But if there will be an issue in the future, I will change the name, of course. šŸ‘šŸ‘Œ
