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.

An idea for you, what about debt viewing? For example, putting credit card debt, loans, all that stuff!

Might be a cool addition within the future! Anyway, FANTASTIC JOB!! It seriously looks amazing!

Thank you. Not exactly sure what you mean, but in the settings you can add categories and maybe with that you can have more or less what you want?

Thats amazing that you even added categories. I just want to say thank you! this is exactly what I've been looking for. Keep up the great work, I havent even tried it yet but just from the comments and the screenshots I can tell this is perfect for me.

Just about every financial management tool gives you that net worth "debt viewing" stuff already. Its hard to find something like this gem. Keep up the direction your going!
