I’m Maxi, creator of Controol — a simple app I built because I was tired of feeling guilty every time I spent money.
Most personal finance tools focus on what you spent.
But this isn’t about tracking the past — it’s about knowing how much you can spend today.
That small shift changed everything for me.
So I built Controol. You just register your income, assign your own percentages (like 50/30/20), and it splits your money into virtual boxes. That way, you always know how much you can spend in each category — no spreadsheets, no stress.
Controol is for people who want clarity with their money, not complexity.
Would love for you to try it, and I’d be super grateful for your feedback 🙏
Thanks for checking it out!
Congrats on the launch, it's something we'd use at Migma.
Was excited to sign up, sounds like a great idea/tool only to get as far as the 'select country' field and find mine is not supported.
Of interest, is this due to some sort of currency related limitations or issue?
Following that do you plan on adding other countries and if so at what sort of timeline?
Congrats on the launch, Maxi! 🎉 As someone who also feels that instant guilt after spending—especially on unplanned stuff—this mindset shift is everything. Love how Controol focuses on permission, not punishment.
Small suggestion: Could the AI nudge us with proactive tips? Like a friendly finance consultant going ‘Hey, your ‘Fun Money’ box is getting low—maybe skip that latte?’ 😅 Either way, brilliant work!
Congrats on the launch, Maxi! Excited to see Controol offering a new perspective on personal finance. Looking forward to using the app to manage expenses better.
Maxi, this is such a refreshing take on personal finance — and a much-needed one! 🙌
That shift from “what did I spend?” to “what can I spend?” hits hard — it’s so simple, yet it completely reframes how we think about budgeting. Love how Controol brings that to life with zero fluff, just clear guidance.
💡 A few things I’m loving:
✨ Virtual boxes with real-time clarity — no more post-purchase guilt.
🧠 Brain-friendly percentages instead of micromanaging every cent.
🛠️ No spreadsheets = no excuses. Clean and approachable.
Curious:
Is there a way to track irregular income (like freelance or side gigs)?
Do the virtual boxes “reset” each month or roll over unused amounts?
Honestly feels like the “YNAB but less intense” that a lot of folks have been looking for. Cheers on shipping something so thoughtful — giving it a spin now! 🙌💸
In my opinion, this is one of the best types of money management products for households.
