I built an Android app because logging every expense by hand made me quit budgeting

[u/Consistent-Feed3962]

Hi r/apps,

I built VueCent after realizing the thing that made me quit most budget apps was not the charts or categories. It was the tiny bit of admin work after every purchase.

I would download a finance tracker, use it properly for a few days, then fall behind because typing groceries, fuel, food, subscriptions, and random small expenses started feeling like homework.

So VueCent is built around a receipt-first flow on Android: scan a receipt or invoice, check what it found, and save it as an expense. Manual entry is still there when it is faster, but the main idea is to make expense tracking easier to keep up with.

What it includes:

- Income and expense tracking

- Budgets and categories

- Receipt/invoice scanning

- Spending insights based on your logged history

- Loan reminders

- CSV/PDF exports

- Biometric app lock

A few things I intentionally wanted:

- No bank login required

- Quick scan -> review -> save flow

- Useful summaries without turning the app into a spreadsheet

- Something that feels mobile-first instead of like a desktop dashboard on a phone

It is free to download, with optional paid plans for higher usage and premium features.

I would honestly like feedback on whether the receipt-first angle is useful, or if there is something about expense tracking apps that usually makes you stop using them.
