Meli

by @alphax314

https://trymeli.app Meli: A spending tracker for Mac designed with privacy in mind. Turns credit card alert emails into spending insights and budgets. I was in security for 15+ years and I built it because I didn't want to use Plaid or other aggregators and wanted my financial data locally on my device and not in the cloud. Spreadsheets required a lot of work to maintain so I wanted some sort of automation. Connects directly to your email (reads only alerts from supported senders) and all parsing happens on your device. Works with seven major US banks (AMEX, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Discover, Bank of America and Wells Fargo) plus PayPal and Venmo. Does this list cover most of your spending? If not, which banks or cards would you need?
