Simon App's answer:

Simon was designed from the ground up to work exceptionally well on mobile, to make it easy and convenient to record transactions on the go. It works with all currencies (and automatically converts amounts using the latest exchange rate), and enables you to organize transactions by categories, merchants, tags, countries, and cities. It also works offline, and lets you freely import past transactions, or export everything to Excel. Ultimately, it is simple, secure, and private, and comes with no overhead or limitation on the number of transactions and reports.

Simon App's answer:

Simon is developed with Laravel, Livewire, and Alpine. It is hosted on many servers around the world, in Europe, Asia, and the United States, to offer extremely low latency to all users. A backup and recovery strategy is also established, and all user data is private by nature and can't be accessed without written authorization by the user itself.

Simon App's answer:

Simon's primary audience is made of adults who want to take control of their finances, analyze where their money goes, and save by having a clear view on their habits, accounts, and transactions. No financial literacy is needed, but a discipline to log expenses and income on a daily basis is expected, to feed one's own ledger, and get insights on their money.

Simon App's answer:

Simon was built to accomodate users who : - Need an app that works with all currencies and converts amounts conveniently (travelers, expats, nomads, etc.). - Need an app that isn't bloated, heavy, or overcomplicated. - Need an app that is reliable, easy to use, and customizable to make it a virtual home for their money. - Need an app that does not enforce a philosophy on personal finances, or any limitation on the personal management behavior. - Need an app that works offline. - Need an app with strong reporting capabilities (categories, tags, merchants, countries, cities, etc.) to really highlight the paths their money takes.

For all these use cases, and because we couldn't find an app that ticked all the boxes, we made Simon.
