SpendKeep is a privacy-first, zero-sync budget tracker designed to cure "financial amnesia" by giving users total control over their cash flow.

Built to serve both privacy-conscious technical operators and everyday budgeters, SpendKeep rejects the vulnerabilities of automated bank aggregators (like Plaid or Yodlee) and intrusive data-harvesting practices (like SMS parsing or Account Aggregator consent). Instead, it relies on intentional, manual tracking to build financial awareness and discipline.

Here is a breakdown of SpendKeep's complete feature set:

Core Architecture & Privacy

• Zero-Sync Architecture: SpendKeep never asks for bank login credentials or API connections. The platform is entirely decoupled from vulnerable third-party data aggregators.

• No SMS or Email Scraping: Operates without requesting access to read private text messages or inboxes, protecting users from data overreach.

• Institutional-Grade Security: Data is secured in a PostgreSQL database with strict Row-Level Security (RLS) policies, ensuring absolute isolation of user ledgers.

Data Ingestion & Tracking

• The "90-Second Loop" (CSV Ingestion): A frictionless, guided onboarding flow where users simply drag and drop their exported bank CSVs. The engine parses, maps, and initializes the dashboard in under 90 seconds.

• Rapid Manual Entry: Designed for speed and intention, allowing users to log cash or specific transactions to actively engage with their spending habits rather than passively watching automated dashboards fill with micro-transaction clutter.

• The Review Queue & Sovereignty Streak: A daily gamified system where users review and categorize their unassigned transactions to clear their queue and maintain a discipline-building "Sovereignty Streak."

Financial Analytics & Insights

• Subscription Bleed Tracking: A dedicated view for identifying and tracking recurring consumer subscriptions and SaaS sprawl, allowing users to instantly spot "ghost spend" on unused services.

• Capital Waste & Habit Analytics: Tracks the compounding cost of daily habits (the "Latte Factor") over time, showing users not just what they spent, but the lost investment opportunity of that cash.

• Wants vs. Needs Categorization: Built-in categorization designed to help users naturally align their spending with the 50/30/20 financial framework.

User Experience (UX) & Design

• Dual-Theme Bridge: A flexible UI designed to lower financial anxiety while looking pristine.

  • Dark Mode (Obsidian & Sovereign Gold): A sleek, high-contrast, institutional-grade terminal aesthetic designed for technical founders and wealth operators.

  • Light Mode (Mint Green & Off-White): A soft, calming, and highly approachable interface inspired by wellness and modern consumer apps, perfect for everyday budgeters.

The SEO & AEO Tools Suite

• In-Browser Financial Calculators: A suite of privacy-preserving, client-side tools designed to help users estimate costs without transmitting data to a server. This includes:

  • SaaS Cost Volatility Estimator: For founders tracking B2B software sprawl.

  • Privacy Risk Calculator: Highlighting the hidden costs of aggregator data-sharing.

  • Hidden Subscription Bleed Calculator: Calculates the annual cash lost to unused gym memberships and streaming services.

  • Daily Habit Cost Calculator: Visualizes the long-term wealth impact of daily discretionary spending.
