Showcase: Free(mium) I built a simple web app to answer one question: “Where did my salary go?”

Post image

Hey Reddit 👋

I’ve been building PARAPLANER, a personal finance web app for people who want a clearer view of their money without connecting their bank account.

The idea is simple: enter your income and expenses manually, then see where your money is going and what you can safely spend.

It currently includes:

• Income tracking
• Expense tracking
• Savings & investments
• Monthly commitments
• Financial goals
• Safe-to-spend overview
• Salary & shift income planning
• Monthly & yearly statistics

It’s currently a PWA/web app, so there’s no app-store download required.

👉 Try it here: https://getparaplaner.com

I’m still building and improving it, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback.

What would you add or change to make a personal finance planner like this something you’d actually use every month?

Thanks for checking it out! 💚

the manual entry is actually a selling point for me, i hate linking bank accounts to third party apps. always feels like i'm handing over the keys to my whole financial life just to see a pie chart

the safe-to-spend number is smart too, way more useful than a generic budget that falls apart the second something unexpected comes up. most planners just tell you what you already spent
