“Made it because my dad was sick of Quicken wanting him to move to their online subscription model.”

Tiny Tally

Quicken wanted a monthly subscription to keep doing one dad's books. Tiny Tally keeps them in a single file on his own computer, works out the GST return, and bills nobody.

Home Ledger

Quicken rents you your own checkbook by the year. This is the checkbook, and it stays yours.

“A free, private, offline checkbook and personal-finance ledger — the parts of Quicken most people actually use, without the subscription.”

PayDay

Budgeting apps charge you every month to tell you that you spend too much every month. PayDay does the month-end recap on your own computer, for nothing.

“Most budgeting apps want you to connect your bank, sync to a server and pay every month for the privilege.”

Concat

CapCut lets you edit the whole video, then wants a subscription at the Export button. Concat exports for free and never learned the word watermark.

“I was really excited to complete and upload my first video ever, and everything seemed perfect until I clicked Export and it showed a popup saying that I had to pay a monthly subscription fee to use the most trivial features like voice changers.”
