Problem

A lot of finance apps try to do too much. I wanted something small that made spending patterns obvious.

Approach

Built a React frontend, a Flask backend, and simple charts for category and month-by-month views.

Impact

It made it easy to spot where the budget was leaking and fix it.

Tech Stack

React Flask Material-UI Chart.js Python

Overview

Expense Manager is a small personal finance app. The goal was simple: log expenses quickly, then make the trends easy to see.

What it does

  • Lets you log expenses with a category, date, and notes.
  • Shows category charts so spending patterns are obvious.
  • Makes it easy to compare one month against another.

Why I built it

I wanted a finance tool that felt lightweight. Most apps I tried had too much ceremony for a basic daily habit.

Result

It gave me a clearer view of spending without the overhead of a heavier budgeting app.
