About Bortoh
The problem
Most personal finance apps are built for power users. They have dozens of screens, complex dashboards, and settings that take hours to configure. For people who just want to understand where their money goes, it's overwhelming.
Spreadsheets work, but they're tedious. You have to remember to open them, manually enter every transaction, and build your own formulas. Eventually, you stop updating them.
The idea
What if managing your money was as simple as sending a text message? Instead of navigating menus and filling forms, you just tell an AI assistant what you need. “Log $42 at Whole Foods.” “Am I on track with my budget?” “Import my bank statement.”
That's Bortoh — a personal finance app where the primary interface is a conversation. Behind the scenes, it tracks your accounts, manages budgets, monitors goals, and provides insights. But you never have to dig through dashboards to find answers.
Who built this
Bortoh is built by Renan, a software engineer who lives in the US and has accounts across multiple countries. After trying every finance app on the market — Mint, YNAB, RocketMoney, Copilot — and finding them all either too complex or too limited, he decided to build the tool he actually wanted to use.
The guiding principle: precision over features, simplicity over completeness. Every feature earns its place by making your financial life clearer, not more complicated.
The technology
Bortoh is built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Supabase. The AI assistant is powered by Claude, Anthropic's most capable language model, with tool-use capabilities that allow it to read your data, create transactions, manage budgets, and provide real-time financial analysis.
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We don't sell it, share it with advertisers, or use it for AI training. You can export or delete everything at any time.
