Ask HN: I'm building budgeting app. What features would you look for?

I started budgeting years ago and I was never able to find an app (or even webapp) capable of doing so for me. Perhaps I didn't search enough.. budgeting apps that come to see this thread in the future, please don't judge me :)

Some of them integrate with your bank account, credit card and I'm not really interested in this sort of stuff. I don't want 3rd party apps having access to whatever my bank produces, not to mention that are hundreds of banks out there and I'd assume that making those integrations are in fact a big deal and possibly dangerous (for a security point of view).

In my specific case, it all started with a local spreadsheet on my laptop, that later became a google forms (I wanted to save new transactions "on the go" and also share it with my wife) and now I'm going to build yet another budgeting app for my needs. Nothing fancy, but just something helpful and makes me proud of.

If you are using a budgeting app already, what's missing?

If you wish to use one, what sort of features would you look for?
