## What it is
ExpenseOwl is an extremely simple, self-hosted expense tracking web application built in Go with a modern UI featuring monthly pie-chart visualizations and cashflow summaries. It is intentionally minimal, single-user focused, and designed for homelab deployments via a self-contained binary or Docker container.

## Use cases
- track my monthly expenses with a simple pie chart
- self-hosted expense tracker for my homelab
- log income and spending without complex budgeting features
- see a quick cashflow overview of income vs expenses
- track recurring transactions like rent and subscriptions
- simple expense app I can use on my phone as a PWA

## When to choose
- you want dead-simple expense tracking with no budgeting complexity
- you run a homelab and want a lightweight single-user finance dashboard
- you prefer a self-contained app with no external internet dependencies
- you want quick monthly category breakdowns and cashflow visualization

## When to avoid
- you need multi-user support or shared household budgets
- you need full budgeting, account management, or bank syncing features
- you want detailed reporting, searching, or import/export from other finance tools
