Moneyhawk

Started 2016 September, released 2017 September.

[Nicki] and I created this personal finance tracker as a bit of a lark, mostly just to work with each other. We wanted something with:

• fast, keyboard-oriented data entry
• no reliance on third-party bank website integration nonsense (just simple, old-school manually imported transaction files)

It’s an Electron app built with ClojureScript, and all data is stored in a local git repository, with each transaction being a separate EDN file. This makes it easy to do bulk edits programmatically, as well as sync between multiple computers, “undo”, etc.

We decided not to pursue it as a business, but we both still use it ourselves for tagging, categorizing, and otherwise tracking finances across multiple bank accounts and credit cards.

We’ve let the domain expire, but you can see an archive of the Moneyhawk landing page for more info and some simple demo videos.
