Personal Finance & Budgeting
Build an AI-powered personal finance app
Kliv is an AI app builder. Describe the personal finance app you want — imports, categories, runway, tax buckets, privacy, and pricing — and it builds it as a real app.

What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a budgeting app you sign up for — it’s an AI app builder that creates software for you.
You describe the app you need in plain words, and Kliv builds it: imports, rules, dashboards, assistant, billing, and user accounts. For a paid product, payments can run on your own Stripe account. You can change the app later by asking. It isn’t a template.
On this page, that app is an AI-powered personal finance app for freelancers with irregular income. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one example.
Why build your own personal finance app?
Many budgeting apps assume a steady salary. Jonas is a freelance motion designer, so income arrives in bursts: three invoices in March and none in April. The question he needs answered is not just whether dining was over budget. It is how many months he can keep going if no new work lands.
Kliv builds the app around that question. Transactions are user-owned rows, categories follow rules, runway is computed from real records, and the product can be sold to other freelancers with the same problem.
What the app holds
Money software earns trust by keeping the structure clear.
Transactions and imports
Statements arrive as CSV. The importer can dedupe on date, amount, and reference, so re-uploading a month does not double-count.
Categories and rules
Users define their own categories and rules. For example, anything from Adobe can be categorized as Software during import.
The runway number
Months remaining are computed from actual burn and invoices due in a server function, so the calculation can be read and tested.
Set-aside buckets
A rule such as setting aside 30% of every paid invoice for tax can be stored as rows and shown clearly.
The transaction assistant
A user can ask what software subscriptions cost last quarter. The assistant answers from that user’s own rows and stores the transcript.
Built for irregular income
Runway instead of only budgets
The home screen can answer how many months are left at the current burn rate, which is the number many freelancers need most.
A monthly close
On the first of the month, a scheduled job can email last month’s categorized totals.
Forgiving imports
The importer can tolerate re-uploads, overlapping ranges, and renamed columns without creating duplicates.
Privacy as architecture
Each user’s financial history belongs to that user. Requests for another account’s rows return nothing.
An example: Jonas’s freelancer finance app
Here’s how one product might work. It’s only an example — you would describe your own users, import rules, calculations, privacy rules, and pricing.
A freelancer imports a messy statement
Jonas uploads a CSV export from his bank. The importer maps the columns and dedupes on date, amount, and reference.
Category rules clean up repeat spending
He marks Adobe as Software once. Future imports apply the rule, and the app can relabel past matching transactions too.
Runway uses real rows
The dashboard computes months of runway from average burn, current balance, and invoices due, instead of assuming a fixed paycheck.
Tax money is kept visible
When a paid invoice lands, 30% is added to the tax set-aside bucket, so the “do not spend” amount is clear.
The assistant stays inside one user’s data
Jonas asks what software cost last quarter. The assistant reads only his transactions and returns the total with the relevant categories.
The paid tier opens more depth
One imported account is free. The $6 monthly tier opens unlimited accounts and the assistant, with access changing as soon as payment succeeds.
Describe what you want to build
Kliv builds from your description, so include import format, calculations, privacy, free limits, and paid features. Here are three examples:
Freelancer runway tracker
Imports, tax buckets, and months-left math.
“Build a personal finance app for freelancers. Users import CSV statements, category rules dedupe and classify transactions, the dashboard shows months of runway from burn and invoices due, 30% of each paid invoice is set aside for tax, one account is free, and $6 a month opens unlimited accounts and the assistant.”
Couples’ shared budget
Two people, separate imports, one close.
“Build a shared finance app where two partners import separate accounts, mark expenses as joint or personal, see one combined monthly close, and keep each partner’s private notes visible only to that partner.”
Debt payoff planner
Balances, rates, and projected payoff dates.
“Build a debt payoff app where users track balances, interest rates, minimum payments, and actual payment rows, compare payoff orders, and get projected payoff dates from the payments they can afford.”
How it comes together
The assistant follows the same privacy rules as the app. It reads the rows the signed-in user may read. It cannot be asked into another user’s transactions.
Free and paid tiers can share one system. One imported account can be free, while $6 a month opens unlimited accounts and the assistant. Checkout and access can run through your own Stripe account.
The subscription can be tested first. In the Sandbox, you can simulate trials, failed cards, recoveries, and cancellations before a real user pays.
An app built around an assistant over private records is one member of a larger family. Kliv’s AI-apps page covers more examples.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder that creates custom web apps from a description. For personal finance, it can build imports, rules, dashboards, calculations, subscriptions, and an assistant over each user’s own records.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds the database, screens, privacy rules, calculations, billing, and assistant for your product.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can add new import formats, categories, calculations, dashboards, tiers, or reports later.
Is this financial advice?
No. The app reports what the user’s records show: totals, categories, runway math, and answers about transactions. It does not recommend investments or financial decisions.
How do transactions get in?
The source example uses CSV statement exports. You describe the bank columns, and the importer maps and dedupes future uploads.
What keeps one user out of another user’s data?
Every transaction, rule, bucket, and transcript carries its owner. Requests for someone else’s records return nothing.
Can I charge for it?
Yes. The source example uses one free imported account and a $6 monthly paid tier for unlimited accounts and the assistant.
Does Kliv take a cut of subscriptions?
No. Payments run through your own Stripe account. Card fees are between you and Stripe.
Do users need Stripe accounts?
No. They just pay by card.
Can I test subscription behavior before launch?
Yes. You can rehearse trials, failed cards, recoveries, and cancellations with test payments before connecting real payments.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The app’s code syncs to your own Git repository, and your records are exportable.
