App Name: JotWell

What it does:
JotWell is a local-first Android expense tracker for people who still prefer manual logging over bank-linked apps. I built it after using Monito for years and wanting the same quick flow: open, enter amount, pick category, done.

Key Features:

• Local ledger with no account or bank link
• CSV/XLS import and JSON backup
• Recurring entries, widgets, monthly stats, and optional on-device SMS suggestions

Goal: Launch / feedback

Giveaway: None

Hey all,

I wanted to share Sumurai, a free, stylish, self-hosted finance app I’ve been building in the open for the last ~150 days. You decide how you want to connect your accounts, with several options based on your privacy preferences, which should cost most people very little or nothing at all.

I’ve been programming for 10+ years, mostly for small and large businesses. I originally built it for my own small business. I wanted something where I could control my data, that worked great on any device, and surfaced trends in my business spending without a lot of manual labor. I even worked with a local artist to create the brand assets, light and dark themes, and the samurai.

It's kinda taken a life of its own and thought other people might get some use out of it. It would be useful for people who want more control over their financial data and tooling, while still keeping the app practical enough for everyday budgeting and transaction management.

Wouldn't mind a bit of feedback either, especially if there's an obvious gap I'm missing.
