Show HN: PaperRight – Budgeting Shouldn't Be Automated (opens in new tab)

Hi!

I built PaperRight.xyz because I've tried everything:

   - AI-assisted budgeting tools that promise to "optimize" your spending
   - Spreadsheets with lots of formulas and color-coded cells
   - Apps that gamify saving and tell you your financial horoscope, or whatever

None of them stuck.

They were either too rigid, or too automated, or just too much. I don't need a terminally confused AI financial advisor (or a confused human financial advisor).

I just needed something simple that showed me some metrics I couldn't find in any other budgeting app so I built paperright.xyz!
