pretty cool tbh - i always end up with a pile of receipts in my inbox, so just forwarding them sounds way less stressful. you think this kind of setup actually changes how people budget or just makes it easier to ignore stuff?
Thanks for your question! 😊 Some apps do auto-capture card transactions, so email forwarding might not be needed for everyone. But setting up auto-forwarding is super helpful when card data isn’t picked up or for receipts from different places.
This method is actually really useful in business too. For example, one of the project, we use a similar approach for our fleet management system. Since Touch 'n Go (Malaysia’s payment system) doesn’t offer APIs, we just parse their expense emails to track driver expenses automatically—it works great! 🚚
So, while it might not change habits for everyone, email parsing is a simple and reliable way to capture expenses, especially when other options aren’t available
This is a smart idea! Using email to track expenses means people don’t need to change habits—they just forward what they already get. I really like how it combines real tools like Postmark and Gemini AI to make things easier. The budget alerts and clean design make it even more helpful.
Thank you so much! 😃 I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. My goal was to make expense tracking as easy and natural as possible, so it means a lot to hear that you found the email approach and budget alerts helpful. I’m glad you liked the design too! If you have any more ideas or suggestions, I’d love to hear them. Thanks again for your support! 🚀
Sure, I'm also now deeply getting into Agentic AI and related stuff, will reach out if something useful I could identify. Thanks and keep this good work up!
Thanks! Wishing you the best as you dive into Agentic AI — really appreciate your kind words and support!
I love how you used the email inbox as the entry point - makes it feel frictionless. Have you thought about adding banking API integration next?
Thanks! 🙌 Banking API integration is just an idea - honestly, the feasibility is pretty low with all the approval processes and restrictions.
But the email approach actually works great! We use something similar at one of our project for fleet management system. Touch 'n Go (Malaysia's payment system) doesn't have public APIs, but they send expense emails. So we parse those emails to automatically track driver expenses - works perfectly! 🚚
Sometimes email parsing is more reliable than waiting for APIs that may never come. Almost every service sends transactional emails anyway! 📧
Have you worked with banking APIs before? Curious about your experience! 🤔
Um, this is exactly like the app I made and posted a day ago, and even the name is same wtf????
Hey, I understand your concern, but I can assure you that the idea and name for my app were developed independently.
"LEDGR" is a pretty common word used in the fintech and crypto space, so it’s not something exclusive or unique to either of us. I actually wasn’t aware of your post or your project until now — just saw your profile for the first time, so I had no way of knowing.
It’s totally possible we both landed on the same name or idea around the same time — this kind of thing happens often in tech. That said, I’m happy to chat more if you’re open to it. No bad intentions here, just building something I’m genuinely passionate about.
