Hi HN,I built Whisper Money because I was frustrated that every personal finance app wanted full access to my bank credentials, fed my transactions into AI systems, or sold my spending data to third parties.Whisper Money takes a different approach:- *No bank credential sharing* - Import your transactions via CSV/XLS exports from your bank. No Plaid, no OAuth to your bank, no third-party...

More implementation details for folks skimming:

- Stack: Laravel 12 + React 19 + Inertia v2 + TypeScript + MySQL/Redis.

- Encryption code lives under src/lib/crypto (happy to point to specific files).

- Import is CSV/XLS; encryption happens before upload.

- Hosting/deploy: Docker + docker-compose, includes a production compose and a Coolify template.

If anyone has experience with audits / threat modeling for E2E apps, I’d appreciate pointers on what to formalize first.

I built Whisper Money: a personal finance app designed so the server never sees your transactions in plaintext.Core idea:- Transactions/accounts/budgets are encrypted on the client before sync (zero-knowledge storage).- No bank integrations/credential sharing; you import CSV/XLS from your bank instead.- Open source: https://github.com/whisper-money/whisper-money- Demo (no signup):...

Because of privacy, there is no direct connection with banks.

You can upload all your transactions and balances with a single CSV/XLS file that you get on your bank. It take seconds.

Hi HN — I’m Victor. I built Whisper Money, a personal finance tracker where your financial data is end-to-end encrypted client-side before it ever reaches the server (zero-knowledge style: the server stores ciphertext and shouldn’t see plaintext transactions/accounts/budgets).

It’s aimed at people who want to track spending/budgets without giving a SaaS provider access to raw financial data. There are no bank connections and no AI processing — you can import transactions via CSV/XLS and everything is encrypted locally before upload/sync.

You can self-host it via Docker/docker-compose: https://github.com/whisper-money/whisper-money

There’s also a hosted version at https://whisper.money (paid).

Source is available under CC BY-NC 4.0 (non-commercial).

What I’d love feedback on from the HN crowd:

- Threat model review: what am I missing in the E2EE/“zero-knowledge” claims?

- Backup/restore expectations when encryption keys live only on clients

- What features you’d require before trusting it for real finances (e.g., OIDC/SSO, 2FA, audit logs, export formats)

Happy to answer technical questions about the architecture and encryption flow.

yo! built this analytics thing that actually tracks the stuff that matters - revenue, how ppl use your product, all that good stuff. Not just "oh look 1000 visits today" lol.Way better than google analytics imo, especially if u actually care about making money from ur product.What do u think? been using it for my own projects and it's been pretty solid.

I’ve been messing around with the idea of having a coach that actually keeps up with you day to day. Most apps either make you log every crumb manually or just spit out generic meal plans. So I built this: a chat-based AI coach that logs your meals, and workouts, then uses that info to give you daily nudges and plans.It’s still rough around the edges (bugs, UX quirks, the usual), but it’s...

Hi HN!I recently built Kaiden — a simple chat-based health assistant that helps you log meals, track activity, and get personalized wellness tips through conversation.It works like a messaging app, but instead of tapping through forms, you just say things like:- “I had eggs and toast for breakfast.”- “How many calories did I eat today?”- “Remind me to drink water every morning.”Kaiden replies...
