July 3, 2024 📣 New Feature: You can now secure your FinWise account with 2FA!

It took us a little longer to implement 2FA than we would have liked, but we listened to our user's requests and last week we focussed heavily on making FinWise more secure.

To enable 2FA and add another layer of security to your FinWise account, go to Settings > Profile > 2FA.

December 3, 2023 New Feature: Calendar View

You can now see your budget broken down by calendar days. This is a great way to get a quick overview of your budget, broken down by day! You can also click on a day to see the transactions for that day.

Try it out by going to Budget > Calendar.

More coming soon!

November 21, 2023 New Feature: Roll-over Budgets

We just launched a new feature called roll-over budgets! This allows you to have any under or over spending from previous months roll over into the current month.

It's helpful for tracking spend over months in case you over spend, and for letting you save or spend more if you underspend in the previous month.

You can enable roll-over budgets for your categories to have any under or over spending from the previous month roll over into the following month.

You can either enable roll-over globally for all categories from Settings > Preferences, or roll-over can be configured per category by editing a category and enabling roll over.

May 1, 2023 Initial MVP launched

Today we launched our initial MVP with Plaid integration so that people can connect their bank accounts.

The product is very basic and stripped down, but hopefully has enough to interest users on our waiting list.

We've implemented the core functionality of being able to connect bank accounts and set up a budget. Most of the rest of the site has "Coming soon" banners to show people what is coming next and to gauge interest.

March 6, 2023 70 sign-ups in 3 days!

Over 70 people joined our waiting list in the first 3 days! We're ecstatic about this and can't wait to launch our initial MVP.

Over 70 people signed-up and we spoke with 18 of them over Zoom to learn more about what they thought of FinWise.

We're quite certain there is a market for something like FinWise now, and we now need to figure out what to how to best build and address this market.

March 3, 2023 Initial landing page launched

Today we launched our initial basic landing page with a TypeForm call-to-action to try to gauge interest in FinWise as we envisioned it.

The website is super basic, but hopefully enough to convey our plans and intent with FinWise and to get people to join the waiting list and register their interest!

Check it out here: https://finwiseapp.io

February 28, 2023 FinWise Conceptualized

My wife and I have been interested in personal finance and investing ever since getting our first pay cheques as a junior software engineers in 2016.

After my first pay cheque arrived, I started building a Google Spreadsheet to help me budget and track my investments. Initially the spreadsheet was quite basic, but over time I added more and more functionality to it, including things like growth forecasts and retirement draw down projections etc.

Over time, I started speaking to more and more friends, colleagues and people about my spreadsheets, and people got interested and wanted to see my sheets.

After realizing how many people were interested in my spreadsheets, I created a template version of my spreadsheet and started sharing it with friends. After just a few weeks, my template had been shared with over 150 people.

It was this moment which planted the seed for us to build FinWise - people wanted a better way to manage and visualize their money.

Fast-forward to today, and my wife and I have decided to turn those old spreadsheets into a product people can use: FinWiseApp.io
