Show IH: We shipped support for tracking multiple expenses in a single message

One thing I noticed while building Vitmora is that people rarely remember expenses one at a time.

At the end of the day, it's usually something like:

"Coffee 180, Uber 280, lunch 350, petrol 220"

But most expense trackers still expect users to enter each expense separately.

So we shipped support for tracking multiple expenses in a single message or voice note.

Vitmora automatically understands, separates, categorizes, and tracks each expense.

The goal is simple:

Reduce the friction of expense tracking so people actually stick with it.

Would love feedback from fellow founders.

How do you currently track your expenses?

  • Expense tracking app
  • Spreadsheet
  • Notes app
  • Don't track at all

    Smart move. Batching is the right instinct because the mental model people have at end of day is already a list, not individual line items, so you're matching the product to how memory actually works.

    The thing I'd flag from a retention angle: reducing entry friction helps the people who already remembered to log. The quieter killer is forgetting to open the app at all.

    Someone has a great week, logs nothing for four days, feels behind, and quietly churns.

    So the batch feature solves the "this is tedious" drop-off, but the "I forgot" drop-off is a separate fight, usually won with a well-timed nudge rather than a faster input. Worth watching which of those two is actually costing you more, because they need different fixes.

    To answer your question: spreadsheet, mostly out of stubbornness.

      That's a great point. The batch feature solves the "this is tedious" problem, but not necessarily the "I forgot to log" problem.

      We're seeing the same behavior — people don't think about expenses one transaction at a time, which is why we built multi-expense and voice-note tracking. But long-term retention definitely depends on making sure users don't have to remember the app itself.

      We're experimenting with reminders and a few AI-driven approaches to make expense logging feel more natural rather than another task on the to-do list.

      Also, respect for sticking with spreadsheets. What keeps you there today — flexibility, habit, or something else?

        Like I said, stubbornness. Claude for Excel has been great so I haven't had any need to change
