Home Alone
A light-mode household expense and subscription tracker — one place to see every recurring charge, renewal date, and budget-saving switch, synced across every device in the house.
Key Features & Outcomes
- Tracks streaming, AI tools, and household utility subscriptions in one euro-denominated ledger
- Multi-device cloud sync via Supabase, with an offline localStorage fallback
- Flags redundant subscriptions — e.g. running ChatGPT and Claude concurrently — and annual-plan savings opportunities
- Installable as a PWA on iOS and Android
The idea
Every household loses track of what it's actually paying for — a streaming trial that never got cancelled, two AI subscriptions doing the same job, a broadband contract that rolled onto a worse rate. Home Alone is a single, honest ledger for all of it.
What's inside
- One ledger, every renewal — streaming, AI tools, and home utilities (electricity, broadband, water, property tax) in a single chronological payment schedule with renewal countdowns.
- Redundancy checks — flags overlapping subscriptions doing the same job, and calculates annual-plan discount opportunities.
- Sync without lock-in — Supabase-backed multi-device sync, with a local-storage fallback so the app still works with no account configured, plus CSV export and JSON backup.
Why it matters to me
A deliberately small, personal tool — light-mode by design, built for five-minute check-ins rather than a finance dashboard you have to sit down with. It's still under active development, currently running as a household tool rather than a public product.
