SpendSpentSpent

SpendSpentSpent is a lightweight web application for tracking personal and shared expenses. It focuses on rapid expense entry, simple categorization, and clear visual summaries to help users monitor spending habits.

Key Features

• Fast, minimal entry flow for adding expenses quickly
• Create and manage expense categories and recurring expenses
• Day-by-day expense view with optional location data per entry
• Monthly and yearly charts to compare overall and category spending
• Household support: create a household and share expenses with invited members
• AI-assisted smart categorization of receipts and photos (AI components included)
• Built-in MCP server to enable LLM-powered analysis of expense data
• Packaged for self-hosting with Docker support

Use Cases

• Personal budgeting and expense tracking for individuals
• Shared household expense management for roommates or families
• Lightweight bookkeeping and spending overviews for small teams or projects

Limitations and Considerations

• No built-in bank account or payment-provider synchronization; transactions are entered manually
• AI features may require additional model configuration or resources to run optimally
• Intended for small teams/households; large-scale enterprise features (advanced multi-tenant controls, extensive reporting) are limited or not provided

SpendSpentSpent is suited for users who want a simple, privacy-focused expense tracker they can self-host. It emphasizes speed of entry, shared household workflows, and basic AI-assisted categorization while remaining easy to deploy with Docker.
