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! 🙌💸
I’m glad that shift from “what did I spend?” to “what can I spend?” resonated with you. That mindset has changed the way I handle my money, and Controol was born from exactly that idea.
To answer your questions:
Yes, you can track as many income entries as you need — including freelance, side gigs, or irregular cash flow. Just add them manually whenever they come in.
No, the virtual boxes don’t reset automatically each month. Whatever you don’t spend stays there and rolls over — because life isn’t always monthly, and your system shouldn’t be either.
Love that YNAB comparison by the way — that’s exactly the sweet spot I was aiming for.
That mindset shift — from “what did I spend?” to “what can I spend today?” — is so underrated. Most apps guilt-trip you with graphs. This actually sounds like it gives you peace of mind.
Just tried Controol and love how lightweight and intuitive it feels. No fluff, just clarity. Excited to see where you take this, Maxi! 💸✨
@parth_ahir Wow — this means a lot. You captured the core of what I was trying to build better than I ever could 😅 I really believe budgeting shouldn’t feel like punishment — it should feel like permission. That shift brought me peace of mind, and I wanted others to feel that too.
So glad you tried it and found it helpful. Thanks for the kind words and energy — it keeps me building. 💪
minimalist phone: creating folders
In my opinion, this is one of the best types of money management products for households.
Is there an option to add family members?
Controol App
@busmark_w_nika Thank you! That means a lot.
Adding family members is definitely something we’re planning to include in the future — it makes total sense for households.
In the meantime, you can log in to the same account from multiple devices. So if you want to share access, it’s already possible that way.
Appreciate the suggestion! It helps shape what comes next.
