Fion is a new personal finance tool that lets you search your spending, across all your cards. It's available on both desktop and mobile.

We noticed it's still surprisingly hard to answer simple questions about our finances. There are other personal finance apps and sophisticated paid budgeting tools, but we wanted to build an easy (and free) way to search transactions that doesn't involve creating and maintaining a budget.

We're excited to share Fion with the HN community.

I like the idea of decoupling transactions from budgets, but maybe your page could show examples of some of the simple questions your tool could help users answer? The web page is beautiful but felt a bit light on feature information to me.

I confirm that this product cannot be launched in France with this name

Reminds me when I first came across Hasura (means "total loss" in Greek slang - not something you'd want to associate with your application data layer).

Please consider a customer-pays model with a promise not to sell data. I can't trust you with my data if I don't know how you use it.

Is a promise a realistic way to prevent it?

What about in the event of a sale, merger, takeover, etc?

Is there a proper legal way to make it unusable forever? Even if there is a legal way, if the technological means exist, will it be taken and sold anyway?

This is awesome, I got all my accounts hooked up and... realized I couldn't do anything about my Bitcoin holdings... is there any easy way to just connect to a tracker like coinmarketcap.com and just pass in your Bitcoin holdings? It's a fancy dashboard.

Thanks for signing up. We'll research support for Bitcoin transactions as well as crypto holdings as part of our upcoming investment dashboard.
