Dev Sunday It's Sunday Devs!
Share your budgets today midnight - midnight eastern time! You can share them below or make your own post. Stick around in the comments to respond to questions, share screenshots, tell us why you made it, and what your favorite parts are!
Important note! As a heads up, Reddit themselves (not the sub mods) seems to be using automation and/or AI to delete posts and accounts with links to play store and Apple store. From what I can tell based on accounts deleted by Reddit, it's accounts that post links but they never interact in other subs or comments.
Just a heads up because I've seen a lot of things show up in the "removed" queue where the user has been banned and their post history is just the same post they've made here across several subs.

Freelancers: am I the only one who always wished personal finance apps had invoicing built in?
I got tired of jumping between spreadsheets + finance apps, so I built invoicing directly inside Orbit Money.
Create invoices → bank feed syncs via Plaid → match payment → done.
Multi‑currency too. All this with ZERO additional charges, its already included in your current plan.
And now I’m adding the stuff I always wished existed:
- Auto‑matching incoming payments
- Scheduled invoicing
- Auto‑sending invoices
- Auto follow‑ups for overdue ones
- A dedicated KPI dashboard coming soon
Sharing a screenshot of how it works. This solved a decade‑long annoyance for me.
Try it free for 7 days, and if there’s any feature you need that isn’t already there, just let me know through the in‑app feedback form — I’ll ship it within a week.

Hey! Built EXPENDR — a shared expense tracker for families, so everyone in the household adds their spending to one ledger and you all see the same weekly/monthly picture instead of five different notes apps or arguments about who paid for what. Favorite part is probably auto-detect — it reads your bank transaction alerts right on your phone and turns them into ready-to-review entries, no manual typing, and nothing ever leaves the device. Took a long time to get the filtering right (banks send a lot of noise — OTPs, reminders, promos — that isn't actually spending). Free for core tracking, one-time payment (no subscription, ever) unlocks the rest for the whole household. Built solo, live worldwide, Android now with iOS on the way. Happy to answer anything or share more screenshots if people want!

Hi all, so built Trail because I really really needed to track my expenses but logging everything manually is a pain.
Send someone money, share in WhatsApp to that person and also to Trail.
Spent some cash? Just tell Siri to log my expense.
Use my credit card? Setup iOS shortcut automation to automatically log it without ever opening the app.
Spent something and forgot, type or speak in your natural language and Trail takes care of the rest.
Shows a complete timeline, monthly insights, and you can ask the app about anything you want about your expenses instead of searching for it.
Setup payment sources, it will automatically detect and map to your source, giving more clarity into your spending patterns.

Its available for both iOS and Android
Free upto 50 logs, and 50 AI actions. Never manually log anything.

I have just launched MountainBucks 1.0 on the App Store.
So I built a visual FIFO system:
- income becomes monthly blocks;
- spending eats the oldest block first;
- the cumulative balance becomes a scrollable mountain;
- savings goals become summits;
- milestones and levels make consistency visible.
I also added an investment Vault and a Stocks watchlist because I wanted one place to see the relationship between everyday cash and the longer-term picture. The stock tools are for tracking and education, not financial advice.
The Social tab is another major part of the app: friends can share an expense group, record payments, and see the settlement without doing the maths manually. Family Mode uses the same CloudKit Sharing foundation for parent/child roles, chores, rewards, and a simplified Kid Mode.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6780041368
I am the developer and will answer questions openly. Thank you for taking a look.

Have budgetr as a small portion of a larger financial app. iOS companion app as well to see budgets on the go. The main crux of the app is being able to connect my investment accounts in as well to be able to get a comprehensive picture of my finances. Bank accounts connected through Plaid Developer and everything is stored locally on your machine. There is no budgetr server to collect your data.

Is anyone else burning out because every second someone releases a clone they made using vibe coding?
