Lazy Financial Management Tool for Nas Enthusiasts: How to Set Up Wallos to Manage Personal Finances

1. Introduction

In this era filled with various subscriptions and membership services, have you ever been confused by the following:

• How much of your monthly expenses are hidden subscription and membership fees that you almost forget?

• Have you ever encountered memberships that you have forgotten but are silently deducted?

• Do you have overseas payment memberships/subscriptions that give you a headache due to currency conversion?

• Are you, like me, not a meticulous accounting enthusiast?

As a VIP super member of multiple platforms and an annual subscriber (a leek), I am also a fanatic of data privatization and Nas solutions.

Today, I will bring you a little toy to help you solve this problem: Wallos.

Unlike traditional accounting software that focuses on every detail, Wallos is more about helping you understand and manage those silently deducted membership and subscription fees that we often overlook.

Introducing Wallos

Wallos is not just a financial management tool; it is a new way of management that can help you easily track expenses and better control your financial life. Let’s take a closer look at the features and functions of Wallos:

• Subscription Management: Track your recurring subscriptions and payments to ensure you don’t miss any due dates.

• Category Management: Support custom expense categories to give you deeper insights into your spending habits.

• Multi-Currency Support: Support multiple currencies, allowing you to manage finances in your chosen currency.

• Currency Conversion: Integrated with Fixer API to provide exchange rate conversion and view all subscriptions in major currencies.

• Statistics: Provide another perspective to view your expenses.

• Data Privacy: As a self-hosted application, Wallos ensures that your financial data remains private and secure on your own server.

• Logo Search: If you haven’t uploaded it, Wallos can search for subscription logos on the web.

• Mobile View: Use Wallos anytime, anywhere.

• Notifications: Receive upcoming payment notifications via email.
