Most budgeting apps track where your money goes. Mindspend tracks how you feel about it. Every purchase gets one of three emotion tags: worth it, okay, or regret. No categories, no bank linking, no complicated setup. Just one simple question after each purchase: how did that feel? After a few weeks, you see your spending patterns through a completely different lens. It's not about restricting yourself. It's about understanding yourself.
Sounds like a great idea to solve overspending, and it would be nice for it to sync with budget trackers people already may use (e.g. Notion) for bigger picture budgeting / factoring in necessary spending such as rent and utility bills. How does Mindspend know your transactions, do you have to manually input them?

Curious what happens with "okay" over time - does it tend to drift toward regret or worth it as people use the app longer? That middle category feels like where the most interesting behavioral data would live.

@spunchev That's exactly the kind of question I love, you're thinking about it the right way. Honestly, I don't have enough long-term data yet to say definitively, but my hunch is that 'okay' is where the most interesting shifts happen. It's the category where awareness does the most work, once you see how much of your spending lives there, it either gets reframed as 'actually worth it' or quietly moves to regret. The middle ground is rarely neutral forever. Would love to revisit this in a few months with real data 😄
Hello Alex!
I hate the feeling "where did my money go?" and I have noticed when I pay cash/transfer, I am more responsible, while when im paying with credit card im extremely irresponsible. So I was thinking it would be great to be able to track the method of payment, so if i really see a trend with my CC I would start leaving it at home!.
Besides that I would like to add another choice on the feelings like "Needed it" there are some things I hate to pay but its necessary, not like a subcategory but an expense that is a non negotiable in my life and cant be decreased (or changed), for example my student loan monthly fee, rent, insurance , etc. I honestly dont feel at my best paying it, but its a non negotiable.
I think this will help people like me.. too much headache
