Pocket Ledger is an opinionated envelope-budgeting app. It stays out of your way, runs on a single small server, and exports everything to plain CSV whenever you want to leave.
The idea
I wanted a budgeting app that felt like a plain text file but rendered like a good product. No ads, no bank integrations, no lock-in.
What I built
An Astro frontend with a small Hono API talking to SQLite on disk, plus a honest little import/export flow. Auth is passkeys only.
Outcome
Used by me, my partner, and a handful of friends. Still the fastest app on my phone.
