monetr is a budgeting application focused on planning for recurring expenses.

monetr

monetr is a budgeting application that aims to allow people to more easily plan their recurring expenses. It is completely free to self-host (documentation to come), but requires a Plaid account in order to communicate with banks.

monetr is currently still in heavy development, but working towards a v1.0.0 release. To that end the current focus has been primarily on rebuilding the user interface here in order to provide a more pleasant and intuitive experience, as well as aiming to support mobile browsers as much as desktop browsers. A first class mobile app is not in the near future for monetr at this time, so prioritizing a mobile browsing experience is a priority for an initial stable release.

Contributing

In order to run monetr locally you will need sandbox credentials for Plaid, you can obtain your own credentials here: Plaid Sign Up. Once you have a Client ID and a Client Secret you can run the following command in the monetr project directory to start a local environment.

If you run into any missing commands you can run

brew bundle

To install all of the tools needed to develop monetr.

To start working on monetr, you can follow the Local Development documentation. Or if you want to just dive in you can run the following command in the project directory:

make develop

This will set pretty much everything up that you need to work on monetr. This also works out of the box inside GitPod or GitHub Codespaces.
