Why I built this

For years I wanted to get better at budgeting.

I tried Excel. I tried Notion. Both had learning curves I didn't have the patience for. I'd set everything up, use it for a week, then abandon it.

I tried apps like 22Seven that sync your bank accounts automatically. The automation was convenient, but it disconnected me from my money. Transactions would appear and I'd barely glance at them. The app felt like it was trying to optimise my finances when I didn't even understand them yet.

I didn't need optimisation. I just wanted to know where my money was going.

So I built Flynch.

It's simple on purpose. You enter your expenses manually. You see where your money goes. That's it.

The act of typing in each expense forces you to notice. And noticing is the first step to changing anything.

If you're looking for automatic bank syncing or AI-powered insights, this isn't for you. But if you want to build real awareness of your spending through the simple discipline of tracking it yourself, welcome.
