First-time maker here — built an app because my wife was tracking expenses in a notebook

Hey everyone

I'm Rakesh, founder of Leadingdots Solutions. I just launched Cashflow: Budget Manager snap a photo of a receipt or bank statement, and AI logs the transaction for you. No manual entry.

The idea came from watching my wife write our expenses into a notebook every night by hand it made me realize most budgeting apps demand more effort than they save.

First time launching on Product Hunt would love to connect with other makers and get your honest feedback on Cashflow. Happy to chat about the build too (React Native + AI backend on AWS).

What's the most "old school" way you've ever tracked your spending?

I built Cashflow because I watched my wife sit down every night and write our expenses into a notebook by hand. It made me realize how many people still do this not because they don't know about budgeting apps, but because the apps demand more effort than they save.

Curious: what's your "notebook" the manual workaround you use (or used to use) before finding (or instead of) a budgeting app? Sticky notes? A spreadsheet you update once a month and feel guilty about? Mental math at the register? Would love to hear the real, unglamorous habits people actually have around money.
