Built a budgeting app because I kept bleeding money without realizing it. Got 100 promo codes for anyone willing to give real feedback.

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo dev from Sri Lanka. I built this app because I used to check my bank account at the end of the month and genuinely have no idea where my money went. It was never the big purchases. It was just a constant stream of slow leaks that I couldn't see until it was too late.

So I made Wizpend. It started out as a tool just for myself to stop the bleeding.

The main feature I actually care about is the proactive alerts. I wanted warnings before blowing a budget, not after the damage was already done. Getting a notification saying, "You're 80% through your food budget with 12 days left" hits completely differently than looking at a sad end-of-month number. That one feature genuinely changed how I spend.

A few other things I use day-to-day that I ended up building in:

  • A bill tracker with reminders: It pings me 1 to 2 days before a bill is due, mostly because I was constantly forgetting small recurring subscriptions.
  • A spending heatmap: It’s a calendar view that shows your daily spending intensity. Seeing it visually made me realize exactly how much money I was throwing away specifically on weekends.
  • Smart insights: It automatically flags when a specific category is suddenly way higher than your usual average.
  • Shared budgets: In case you manage finances with a partner.
  • Gamified challenges: It sounds a bit gimmicky, but treating my savings goals like a game actually got me to log things consistently.

It also works fully offline, home screen widgets, and lets you import and export everything to Excel.

I've been using it for about a year now. My savings rate has definitely improved. It's not a massive, life altering change, but the progress is real. Now, I want to know if the app holds up for people with different habits, different currencies, and different ways of thinking about money.

I have 100 promo codes for 3 months of premium. I'm really not trying to hard-sell anyone here. I just need people who will actually use it and hit me up with completely honest feedback. Tell me what's broken, what's confusing, or what's missing. I want all of it.

Drop a comment or send me a DM if you want a code. First 100 get them.

You can find Wizpend on both iOS and Android.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wizpend-budget-expense/id6756580507
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Nyfronix.Wizpend

Fair warning: The free tier has ads, premium is a subscription, and it is manual entry only with no bank connections. I'm a solo dev and I didn't want to touch that level of sensitive financial data.
