I'm working on https://spendlight.com a SMS-powered spending journal.

With all the uncertainty and risk to our personal finances, it seems fitting to work on a project that will (worst case) help me buckle down and improve my spending habits.

hah, cool to see this idea. I built something similar in 2010 to track my debit card purchases because I always pressed the 'credit' button (in the US) and the transactions didn't appear on my balance sheet for a couple days. So I sent a text just like your site describes and kept a ledger. Nothing like the tags or trends in yours though. Cool idea! The Monzo app in the UK has some really inspiring ideas.
