Today I’m launching MoneyMap on the App Store! 🚀
I started working on this in August 2024. As a software engineer (now Software Architect), I was tired of settling for budgeting apps that didn't map to my actual paycheck cycle. I spent years relying on manual spreadsheets before deciding to build my own automated solution. After a full rewrite and a completely new architecture, launch day is finally here.
The Tech & Core Features:
• Paycheck-First Approach: Shifts the focus from strict monthly budgets to paycheck-by-paycheck planning.
• Bank Connections: Securely connects to 12,000+ financial institutions (powered by Plaid, with Stripe fallbacks).
• E2E Encryption: Taking a different approach from the current market, all data lives on your device, not a server.
• Encrypted Sync: You can still securely share accounts with a partner without compromising the device-first architecture.
I'd love for you to try it out and let me know your thoughts!
Finally ditched my spreadsheet and MoneyMap's paycheck-based view just made more sense than any monthly budget I've tried. Loved that it linked to my bank in seconds and didn't nag me to upgrade.
Really like the paycheck-based approach and local encryption angle, that combo feels rare. One thing I'd love to see is a cash flow forecast that shows upcoming bills against each paycheck in advance, so I know which pay period will actually cover them.
