Hi there selfhosters.
I was looking for a self hosted open source subscription tracker for a while and since I could not find what I wanted, I decided to try to build it myself.
I used mobile apps like Billbot but the data would only be accessible on that device. I’ve also found a few web based services but would require a subscription, and the reason I wanted a subscription tracker was to get an overview of my subscriptions and start saving money by cancelling unneeded or redundant services.
Since I am using so many open source and self hosted projects I decided to try to give something back and this is how Wallos was born.
I’m not happy with the UI yet, it was my first time developing a project without a designer, but I don’t hate it either.

The development cycle might not be the fastest, since I work a full time job and have a baby, but I’ll do the best I can.
Thank you and hoping the tool can be useful to someone else.
definitely a cool project! could pair well with income trackers and some grafana …
as it is an expense tracker does it have an API itself?
It’s definitely a cool idea.
Most of the endpoints already behave kind of like an API, so would need to maybe add a bit more granularity on what can be requested and allow generating an API key for the requests.
My thought exactly! Would be cool if this could create transactions in Frirefly III and/or Actual.
I was totally thinking about that too
I’m also using Firefly III and am wondering what exactly you would do with the integration? I’m currently using Firefly’s feature to create recurrent transactions, but it would be nice if everything is handled from/with this application instead of having to update it in two different locations. Is there anything else you’d do with it? Just curious, maybe I’m missing something!
