I work on a desktop budgeting application. I love that it's desktop-only (and so do the users)! It doesn't earn a living (yet), but it makes more than enough to cover expenses.

I just tried this out this week! It isn't going to work for my needs (I like having payee names to track past expenses), but it looks like great software, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to people.

magnificent! I hate reconciling my amazon -- and recently walmart grocery pickup -- purchases for this reason.

Why would I want to sit at my computer to manage my budget instead of being able to access it anywhere? I always have a “computer in my pocket”.

As a person who painstakingly used GnuCash for multiple years - no, no mobile app works good enough. It is always or too cumbersome, or too simplified.

And yes, it is almost always easier to punch in numbers on the desktop.

I do this every day with YNAB (even though they have a mobile app). Takes about 5 minutes. So much easier on a computer than on a tiny phone.

I use Google sheets for my budget - from my phone. I can’t remember the last time I actually used my personal computer for anything. I use my work computer for work and my phone or iPad for everything else.

What am I suppose to use when I’m out and about or traveling? I was on vacation when I got paid in December. The only thing I had on me was my phone.

Some things are just a pain in the ass to do on a mobile phone I guess. Budgeting sounds like it would be.

Your application looks really nice. What framework are you using for the UI?

[iffycan]

It's Electron (for now)

I'm downloading now, this looks really nice.
