What is it that you don't like about the design? I just tried not to follow the common guidelines for the design and make the design more… developer friendly?
Part of it is the English-as-a-second-language vibe. "Privacy-first money tracker" feels very clumsy to me as a native speaker, and I have zero interest in giving my financial credentials to an open-source product that... I also have to pay for?
Bottom line: financial products require an incredibly high degree of trust for most people, and this feels very much like the work of a sincere developer working alone and without a lot of product design experience. All the little issues (copy, design, presentation, unknown solo developer) that would be forgivable in a product of any other kind become red flags and deal breakers when my finances are concerned.
I hope this is helpful feedback! Keep on building!
I don’t find your site murky or scamlike because of design, honestly, that would be stupid. And if I wanted to make a scam site, I’d just copypaste Stripe or something, and I expect that from any intelligent scammer.
There is nothing wrong with it, apart from my usual criticism to landing pages like this: I still have no clue what is it for, or who I must be to use it, what exact problem I have that it could solve. But that’s in line with virtually everything. Nobody puts a history like “Tired of manually entering your invoices? Want automatic categorizing of expenses? Your bank formats are illegible crap? …” anymore.
I wonder what critics above think of e.g. curve.fi, which is serious enough to eat $1000 per transaction.
Edit: yeah, the app looks more like “modern” “design” “thing” to me, but it’s just me missing clear UI borders and color-cued sidebars and property sheets.
I'm not sure what you mean by "developer friendly" (monospace font?) but it doesn't look like a financial services site I'd trust. The rainbow borders which change on hover and that stuff screams "my first time playing with CSS", not "you should trust us with your $$".
Also, the name and domain seem like you're compensating for something, or trying to trick people. If a bank has big signs saying, "No, we won't steal your money, promise" that opens up a whole lot of questions. Why do you need to put "safe" all over the place? Is there some reason I should think it isn't safe?

Lol :)
Thanks for your honest feedback!
The app looks more traditional, btw. (https://imgur.com/a/KabWkNS)
Based on the feedback here I will probably change the landing page to something more traditional.

Wow, that is the opposite thing we were aiming for.
There are a lot of other apps that provide the same value while being completely unsafe to use. We're just emphasizing on the core value. Strange to hear that it causes the opposite reaction.
