Show HN: ExpenseOwl – Simple, self-hosted expense tracker


Extremely simple expense tracker with nice UI. Intended for home lab use. - Tanq16/ExpenseOwl

Don't get me wrong, they're great when needed, but I wanted something dead simple that just gives me a pie chart per month and a tabular representation. Simple expense tracking with essential details only (optional name, date without time, amount, and category) UUID-based expense identification in the backend Flat file storage system ( data/expenses.json) Multi-architecture Docker container with support for persistent storage REST API for expense management Single-user focused (mainly for a homelab deployment) CLI for both server and client (if needed) operations Custom categories via environment variable ( EXPENSE_CATEGORIES) with sensible defaults Custom currency symbol in the frontend via environment variable ( CURRENCY) Desktop ViewMobile ViewDashboard LightDashboard DarkTable LightTable DarkThe interface automatically adapts to system preferences for themes.
