Mi Plata
A private money tracker that lives on Carla's iPhone home screen. No App Store, no yearly Apple fee. Built on the Entremigas foundation.
Why I built it
Carla runs the bakery on Entremigas. Her own money lived nowhere clean.
Entremigas closed the bakery's books. Carla's personal spending was still split between her head and a banking app that doesn't add anything up. She wanted the same one-tap habit for her own money that the bakery already had.
Putting an app on an iPhone normally means the App Store and Apple's $99-a-year developer fee. For a tracker only one person will ever use, that is the wrong trade. A Progressive Web App skips all of it. Carla opens a link in Safari once, taps Add to Home Screen, and it behaves like a native app: its own icon, full screen, no browser chrome. It costs nothing to run.
The one catch with PWAs on iOS is that the system can clear a site's local storage and take the records with it. So Mi Plata keeps everything in a database on the server, not on the phone. The phone is just the window.
What it does
A daily tracker, nothing she won't use.
Carla sets up her own accounts with a starting balance: cash, bank, card, savings. She renames, archives, or adds more whenever her setup changes. It starts with four, already filled in.
Every movement is one of three things: money in, money out with a category, or a move between two accounts. Add a date and a short note, then save. She can edit or delete later if she fat-fingers an amount.
The dashboard shows the month's ingresos, gastos, and neto, the balance in each account, a daily bar chart, and where the money went by category. A period filter changes the window.
ARS only, formatted es-AR, so 1.234,56 reads the way she expects. No currency switching, no budgets, no features she would never touch. The scope is kept small on purpose.
Built with
The Entremigas engine, stripped down.
Mi Plata is carved from the Entremigas codebase: the same PIN login, the same server-only data access, the same edge runtime. The bakery's wholesale machinery, the PDF runs, ARCA exports, and per-branch pricing, is all gone. What is left is a clean personal tracker on a foundation that already runs in production every day. Carla's data sits in its own database, fully separate from the bakery's.
Status
In development.
Being built now, on its own database in Carla's account, kept fully separate from the bakery's. It will live at miplata.tejorugonda.com once it ships.
