I forecast millions in cash flow for companies. I couldn't tell you why my own account was empty by the 25th
one thing always struck me at work: no company steers by its bank balance. when a director makes a call, they look at flows and projections, never at "what's in the account". the balance is a snapshot. the projection is the film.
yet personally we all do the opposite. me included, for years: balance lower than expected, no explanation, spreadsheet postponed to next weekend. the question we ask before spending is "can i afford this today", when the only one that matters is "what does this do to my balance in six months".
i looked for the tool that answers that second question. everything out there is retrospective: great at telling you where last month went, silent on where you're going. so i built it.
concretely: your accounts connect through a licensed PSD2 aggregator (no scraping), your balance is projected over the coming months, and you can simulate before deciding. a car loan, a move, a 800€ purchase: drop it into the projection, see the trajectory before committing instead of three months after.
two design choices straight from the day job: three spending categories instead of forty (fixed, constrained variable, chosen variable, beyond that you're filing instead of deciding), and a projection that's pure arithmetic, updating with every expense like a cash flow forecast.
it's called finsee, iOS, french market for now (EU banking rails).
