Cluenta

Private beta

The receipts you already photograph, as a ledger you both trust.

Cluenta turns a photo sent to a Telegram bot into a reviewed household expense — categorised, counted against a budget, and visible to everyone who shares the money. No spreadsheet, no month-end catch-up.

How it works

Three steps, and two of them are already habits

The tedious part of tracking expenses is the typing. Cluenta removes that part and keeps the part where a person decides what is true.

What it does

Everything a shared ledger needs, and nothing that guesses with your money

Budgets, dashboards and streaks are computed by the backend and rendered exactly as received. The screens show what the server decided, never a number the browser worked out on the way.

A ledger you can actually search

Filters live in the URL, so a view is a link you can send. A table on the desktop, cards on a phone, and the full lifecycle: confirm, reject, delete, restore, notes, and a sanitised timeline per expense.

Budgets as envelopes

A household target with optional rollover, plus a limit per category. Spend, remaining, pace and carried surplus are computed on the server and rendered as received.

A dashboard that explains itself

Period, category and merchant exploration with comparison cards, a spending trend, a daily calendar, and drilldowns into the exact filtered ledger behind any figure.

Command palette

Cmd/Ctrl+K searches expenses, categories and payment methods across the household, keeps recent searches, and goes full-screen on a phone.

Recurring, not retyped

Rent, the gym, the phone bill: a schedule generates proposals you confirm, so standing costs arrive the same way everything else does.

Built for a household, not a person

Members, invitations, and notification preferences per person. Everyone sees the ledger; the destructive actions stay with the owner.

Keys for the machines

Issue, rotate and revoke the API keys n8n and other callers authenticate with. The plaintext secret is shown once, at issue, and never again.

Webhooks with receipts of their own

Subscribe to what happens in the household, and read the delivery history when something downstream claims it never arrived.

Your data

A household ledger is not a growth surface

Cluenta holds what people spend and photographs of where they spent it. That deserves an exit, a pause, and a delete button that all actually work.

Export everything

A complete JSON or CSV export of the household, on the owner’s request. Not a summary — the data.

Archive, then change your mind

Archiving a household is reversible: a recovery screen restores it, exports it, or deletes it for good.

Erasure that tells the truth

Permanent deletion reports itself as in progress until Account, Expenses, Delivery and Audit have each finished — not the moment the button is pressed.

FAQ

The questions that decide whether this is for you

Anything this does not answer, ask —hello@cluenta.com.

Can I sign up today?

Not yet. Cluenta runs as a private beta for a handful of households while its services are separated. Ask for an invite and you will hear when there is room.

Do I have to use Telegram?

No. The bot is the fastest way to get a receipt in, but expenses can be added and edited by hand in the app, with exact decimal amounts and no rounding on the way in.

Which currency and language does it support?

The baseline is EUR, the Europe/Madrid timezone and an English interface. Several currencies inside one household are not supported yet.

Who in the household can see what?

Everyone in the household sees the shared ledger and the budgets. The actions you cannot undo casually stay with the owner: export, archive, permanent erasure, and the API keys.

Where are the receipt images kept?

In object storage, reached through short-lived links rather than public URLs, and available from the expense they belong to for as long as that expense exists.

Is there a mobile app?

The web app is responsive and built mobile-first, so it works as one on a phone. A React Native client sharing the same API contract is planned, not started.

How is this different from a shared spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet needs someone to type into it every week. Cluenta takes the receipt you already photographed, proposes the expense, and asks one person for one confirmation — and then computes the budget arithmetic on the server so two people never see two different totals.

What does it cost?

The beta is free and asks for no card. Nothing has been decided about what happens after it.
