About:
Bagels is a modern, terminal-based expense tracker designed for developers who prefer keyboard-driven workflows. It allows users to quickly log transactions, categorize spending, and visualize financial data without leaving the command line. The tool emphasizes speed and simplicity, offering a privacy-focused alternative to cloud-based budgeting apps.
Key Features:
  • Keyboard-first navigation and input
  • Local data storage for privacy
  • Interactive terminal user interface (TUI)
  • Customizable categories and reports
Use Cases:
  • Tracking daily expenses and personal budgets
  • Managing freelance project costs
  • Quickly logging cash transactions on the go
Alternatives:
  • hledger – hledger is a powerful, plain-text accounting tool with a steeper learning curve, whereas Bagels focuses on ease of use for simple expense tracking.
  • money-cli – money-cli is a simpler alternative, but Bagels offers a richer TUI and more detailed reporting features.
