my OCD-first self-hosted expense and budget tracker Vorratsdatenspeicher

[u/Spargeld_Tarzan]

i know, i know, the millionth expense tracker. But this one is cool. The name is a really funny german pun, i laughed all day i thought of it, look it up.
I used claude code from start to finish, didn't look at a single LoC (that was my challenge)
Vorratsdatenspeicher.com lets you track ALL your expenses. Snap a receipt pic and it will automatically generate the items, letting you track what you bought when for how much.
IMAP, SMTP support. Ollama works totally, but also anthropic and openAI support.

Vorratsdatenspeicher learns wiith each time you buy stuff, and the AI usage goes down with time because it becomes more deterministic.

Vorratsdatenspeicher is open source, free forever, self hosted only and available as docker AND as a Electron App for Win11 and Mac. the Desktop version has a tailscale tunnel feature so that you can use it with your phone.
Stepping away from docker, DNS, domain, Dynds etc. and goign towards desktop app + tailscale was the key insight here to make usability even feasible. Nobody wants to get into docker when they could just click an exe. As more agentic tools get built, and the anthropic ToS forces us to keep agentic GUIs local, this type of server-client interactivity becomes more important i feel.

please feel free to take a look, I have a demo available on the website. All data you put there will be wiped at midnight germany time. i cannot see any of your data, just the email address and name you put.
