Hey Product Hunt 👋


I'm Alex, a solo developer, and Finent started as a tool I built for myself.


Every budgeting app I tried gave me a nice monthly summary, but none of them answered the question I actually cared about: do I have enough to cover everything before I get paid again? Most people don't think in calendar months, they think in paydays.

So I built Finent around that. It knows your payday schedule, sees which bills fall before the next one, and tells you what to set aside right now to stay covered. On top of that it applies the 50/30/20 rule so you can see whether your needs, wants, and savings are actually balanced.

What's in it:
* Payday-window planning so you're never caught short
* Recurring and one-time income and expense tracking
* Debt payoff planner with a projected payoff date
* Savings goals with contribution tracking
* Shared budgets for partners or roommates

A few things I care about: it's free with no premium tier, it's open source so you can check exactly what it does, and it's privacy-first, meaning no ads, no trackers, and I never sell your data. You can export or delete everything anytime. No company, no investors, just me building it in my spare time.

I'd genuinely love your feedback, especially on the payday approach and anything that feels missing. Thanks for checking it out!
