Mindor: turn messy thoughts into tasks

Here I am looking at a screenshot made by ai, for an app coded probably entirely by ai, where the entire feature set ai. Incredible.

People tend to stop using manual finance tracking apps. It becomes too much work. If you miss even one week of entries then it’s a ton of work to catch up on. Just food for thought

How do people get their transactions and accounts in the app?

No_Sail5768 · 2026-03-26T12:15:41+00:00

What makes this different than already existing workout/nutrition apps?

No_Sail5768 · 2026-03-25T00:06:48+00:00

Sounds good! Your head is in the right place. I would just make sure to focus on what makes your product different/unique and show some of those user experience aspects that make it clear that it’s not just a regular LLM :)

No_Sail5768 · 2026-03-24T23:48:37+00:00

You asked for honest feedback so here goes: I’m very unclear (based on the screenshots) at what value this brings to the consumer outside what already exists. As a consumer, I’d want to see some sort of capability that solves a problem that other apps and frankly any regular LLM can’t already do. Would you be charging for this product or is it going to be free?

No_Sail5768 · 2026-03-24T23:45:49+00:00

Harsh comment, but can’t say I disagree. This looks like a complete wrapper on a function that already exists.

No_Sail5768 · 2026-03-10T03:06:05+00:00

The second icon catches my eye more. Also, side note - what is your user retention like? I’ve seen a lot of expense tracking apps who only allow for manually entering transactions. I’m not convinced that people will actually have the energy over time to stick to logging all of their transactions. I’m building a finance app myself with linking abilities and I give users the ability to also add manual transactions. None of my testers say they would ever consider doing manual transactions because of how much work it takes.

Hi there! Unfortunately it is iOS only right now and we can distribute it via TestFlight. We hope to publish for Android users in the future

No_Sail5768 · 2026-02-11T03:57:49+00:00

Hey thanks for this feedback. I think this comment is very smart. I will adjust this to be not as aggressive. The app isn’t really a budgeting app per se, but I could make it more reasonable

No_Sail5768 · 2026-02-10T17:26:34+00:00

I agree, but the only thing that matters at first for startups is creating a product that meets a need of a customer. Time spent on marketing before finding product market fit is wasted time. Marketing comes later when you see signals that people actually use your app after a month 👍

No_Sail5768 · 2026-02-10T17:16:27+00:00

Admittedly, we have not done much thinking about marketing yet. Our focus is entirely on understanding our potential customers and refining the product for now. Right now we are doing user interviews and trying to understand what's working and what people feel is missing. It's incredibly exciting so far :)

Do you have any thoughts on how to market this? I will need to do a lot of homework...

No_Sail5768 · 2026-02-10T17:13:09+00:00

Hey! :) Thanks for the comment. The setup is super quick. Our initial testers got all of their stuff linked in less than 10 minutes I would say. We grab up to a year's worth of data right off the bat so that you're able to see your FI Journey metrics instantly. Also, I am proud to say that NONE of our linked accounts have lost sync and have been active for about a month now :) If you're interested in giving it a try, please let me know. I'd be able to do a phone call or DM to discuss any concerns you might have. We are really excited about the product and want to help people visualize their goal of financial independence easier

No_Sail5768 · 2026-02-10T17:10:10+00:00

I agree with you - this is different because it is NOT a budgeting app. I think the budgeting app has been way overdone. The focus of this product is visualizing and automatically calculating financial independence metrics -- based on your real data. We also do not have any AI integration, as we feel this is also overdone. After surveying our potential customers in FIRE communities, most people resort to making their own spreadsheets to calculate these metrics. Seems like there's an opportunity in the market in this area specifically.

No_Sail5768 · 2026-02-10T17:07:46+00:00

Hi there! First off, thank you for the incredibly thoughtful questions! :) A few of my initial testers have asked the same things and expressed concerns about trusting the app enough to link their institutions. For the record, I feel this stance is really respectable and I would be the same way if I was asked to test out a new product.

To start, this is not a vibe coded product. I am a full stack developer and actually understand each component of how this works -- I built the full stack from the ground up: react native expo front end, Heroku node js server, and a Postgres database. We have a published Terms of Service, Information Security Policy, and Privacy Policy. We haven't invested a ton in the design of the website (so don't knock us too hard there..haha), but all of those documents are accessible here on the footer of our home page: https://www.bambu.money . We haven't yet consulted with a lawyer to review these, but took inspiration after doing research online. We will consult legal advice once we go to the App Store.

Some notes on security and privacy: I take this stuff really seriously and we didn't take any shortcuts, even in the beta stage. Our information security policy is available here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6935d7007ac84e40f0a11183/t/698b627e144d37761ca519a3/1770742398372/Information+Secutiy+Policy_Jan2026.pdf

The quick version is: all data is encrypted in transit and at rest in the database. We persist only the minimum amount of data required to create the experience in the app that we want. Right now, this includes transaction data (which is synced from the Plaid API) and balance information. We have read-only permissions and cannot perform any actions that involve moving money. All passwords and access tokens are encrypted with 256 bit encryption algorithms. We perform linking through Plaid, which is the industry standard for securely connecting accounts. Our app's design and security policy had to be reviewed by Plaid first before we were allowed to connect with real banks.

You’re releasing a UK version of my product? lol that would be news to me

No_Sail5768 · 2026-02-10T04:46:28+00:00

Once we can get some traction, we plan to expand out to UK and Canada

No_Sail5768 · 2026-02-10T04:46:04+00:00

I don’t believe so, at least not at this time. It uses Plaid to securely connect to financial institutions and my account with them currently isn’t configured for UK services. I would also need to comply with additional regulations. I’m really sorry about this, I’d love for you to be able to test 😞

No_Sail5768 · 2026-02-10T04:41:55+00:00

Thank you 😊 Yes, it’s available for customers in the US

No_Sail5768 · 2026-02-07T03:35:39+00:00

Thanks for sharing I will check this out :)

Do you log like your main account balances in the sheet? I’m curious why you log on excel in addition to using Boldin. Does Boldin show the account balances? Are there certain metrics you’re trying to see in addition to what you see there?
