## What it is
Bagels is a terminal user interface (TUI) expense tracker built with Python and Textual. It lets users record, categorize, and analyze their spending locally with features like accounts, transfers, recurring templates, budgets, and spending plots.

## Use cases
- track daily expenses from the terminal
- budget and limit unnecessary spending
- analyze spending trends with graphs
- manage transfers between accounts
- set up recurring transaction templates
- keep personal finance data local instead of in the cloud

## When to choose
- you prefer terminal-based tools and want fast keyboard-driven expense logging
- you want your financial data stored locally rather than in a hosted service
- you need budgeting, insights, and recurring transactions in one lightweight app
- you work over SSH and want your tracker available on remote machines

## When to avoid
- you need a mobile app for on-the-go expense capture
- you want multi-user or cloud-synced finance management
- you prefer a graphical desktop or web interface over a TUI
- you need bank account integration or automatic transaction import
