The app auto-categorizes transactions by user-defined rules and includes a flexibility layer to distinguish fixed, flexible, and discretionary spending. It also offers a financial health dashboard with savings rate, liquidity runway, and FIRE projections, plus an optional chatbot and MCP server for AI-assisted financial management.", "body_md": "Fungible is a terminal-based personal finance app that fills the Mint-shaped void in my life. It runs using your own plaid credentials (optional) and has its own integrated chatbot (also optional and BYO key).\n\nYou connect banks via Plaid or import CSVs. Transactions get auto-categorized by rules you define. On top of normal categories there's a flexibility layer (fixed / flexible / discretionary) so you can see at a glance what's actually controllable spending. There are also tags (also separate from categories) for isolating things like trips or hobbies.\n\nThe financial health screen does savings rate, liquidity runway, and FIRE projection with adjustable assumptions. Probably overkill but I like it.\n\nIt also has an MCP server so Claude/ChatGPT can talk to you about your finances, create rules/tags, etc. That’s always the most annoying thing for me when trying a new personal finance tool. Hopefully this brings down the barrier to usefulness. The agent/chatbot in the app has the same tools as the Claude/ChatGPT would have via the MCP.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48271942](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48271942)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-fungible-a-local-personal-finance-app-in-the-terminal", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/tomfunk/fungible", "published_at": "2026-05-25 21:35:51+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-25 22:07:59.556218+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["Fungible", "Plaid", "Mint", "Claude", "ChatGPT", "MCP"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-fungible-a-local-personal-finance-app-in-the-terminal", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-fungible-a-local-personal-finance-app-in-the-terminal.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-fungible-a-local-personal-finance-app-in-the-terminal.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-fungible-a-local-personal-finance-app-in-the-terminal.jsonld"}}
