Templates

Finance and budgeting app templates

Expense trackers, budget planners, loan ledgers and subscription managers. Money apps are opened in queues and on aeroplanes, so every one of these is built to work with the network off.

Offline-first is not a feature here, it is the architecture

A finance app that shows a spinner when the signal drops is a finance app people delete. The pattern that works is a local database as the single source of truth, writes that land locally and sync afterwards, and a UI that reads only from the local store and never from the network. That is a decision made on day one — a cloud-first app cannot be made offline-first by adding a cache.

Where the money numbers usually go wrong

Storing amounts as floating point is the recurring bug in this category: 0.1 plus 0.2 is not 0.3, and a rounding error compounds across a month of transactions until a balance disagrees with the sum of its rows. Store minor units as integers. Check which one a template does before you trust it with someone's budget.
