Personal finance transaction trackers
These products are personal finance apps that track transactions, balances, budgets, receipts, cashback rewards, and account reconciliation, often positioning as replacements for a paper checkbook. The dated history before the index start shows an early concentration of entries from mid-2011 to late 2012, then a long gap until single entries in October 2023 and February 2026. All three traction leaders—Checkbook - Budget & Expenses, NanoLedger, and Cashback_Count—show zero stars, indicating no clear traction advantage.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
