I got tired of personal finance apps renting me my own money data, so I built an alternative. Opening late-Alpha access (50% off for first 100).
Hey everyone,
I’ve had the same frustration for years: personal finance apps that feel helpful, then slowly turn into a subscription trap. Pay monthly just to see basic insights, trends, or anything that actually helps.
So I started building KarlaFinance.
This is still early, but it’s real. We already have 2,000 users on a pre-alpha version, and I’m now opening up late-Alpha access to a small group.
What it is
KarlaFinance is a money app built around one idea: your money should feel private.
Right now that means:
- A clean, simple way to understand where your money is going
- Insights without the noise or spreadsheet vibes
- A money assistant style experience that helps you reflect on spending patterns
What’s coming soon (not live yet):
- Privacy-first / local-first processing
- More powerful analysis and automation features
Also being transparent: this is alpha. It’s not a full “export everything” power-user product yet.
Late-Alpha Offer
To get real usage and feedback, I’m offering 50% off Premium for the first 100 people who join late-Alpha.
- No coupon code
- The price drops automatically
- I’m turning it off once we hit 100 users
How to try it
Android/iOS is available via PWA right now.

My ask
If you try it, I’d love blunt feedback. If something is confusing, feels missing, or you hit a bug, tell me and I’ll prioritize it.
If you want in, jump in now while the 50% is still active.
