I wanted a budgeting tool that wouldn't force me to add extra stuff (categories, accounts, etc.) each time I added an expense.
I also wanted tracking to be meaningful. Knowing I spent $97 on coffee last month was useless. I just wanted to stay within my means.
That's exactly how it works in Sintra

In 2019, my friend and I built a budgeting service. It's called Sintra.
We barely marketed it, and it's been quiet for a while. But people still find it and tell us they love it. So we've been working hard to add an English version to make it accessible to more people.
Can't wait to share it soon!

My hometown Dnipro, my favorite city in the world, was on fire last night due to a russian attack.
It's so painful to me that our civilization is failing to stop this :/
