Why manual logging

Most finance apps want to do the work for you. Plug in your bank, watch the categories auto-fill, look at a number once a month. The work disappears, and so does the awareness.

Beaver Money goes the other way. You type each transaction in. The act of logging it is the point: you notice what you spent, where it went, and how it adds up. After a few weeks the awareness compounds, and the dam is real.

This is a niche, on purpose. If you want auto-import from Plaid or your bank, this isn’t the project for you. If you want a careful, private ledger that respects the discipline of writing things down, you’re in the right place.
