Expense Tracker

Three-second logging, and a month view that tells the truth.

01Quick capture

Description, amount, category — done.

02This month

Budget, spent, and remaining at a glance.

03By category

Bars that show where it actually went.

Overview

Expense Tracker is built around one habit: log it before you forget it happened. Capture takes three fields, the month view rolls everything into category bars against your budget, and the math is computed from your entries — never typed in. Swap the categories, currency, or budget logic to match how you actually spend.

2

Run it

Unzip it, then run this in the folder. It works immediately — no database, no accounts, no configuration.

$ npm install
$ npm run dev
3

Hand it to your coding agent

The download ships with CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and Cursor rules, so your agent understands the project the moment it opens the folder.

$ cd expense-tracker
$ claude

Claude Code reads the included CLAUDE.md automatically — it already knows the project.

A good first prompt:

Give me a quick tour of this project, then help me make it mine.

Agent-ready information

Ships with CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, Cursor rules, and a full agent handbook — project map, safety rules, recipes, tests, and deploy notes.
