About

πŸ“Œ Use of This Tool

Wallos lets you:

  • Centralize subscription tracking (e.g., Netflix, cloud services, software plans) so you never forget a payment.

  • Organize expenses & categories so you understand where your money goes.

  • Support multiple currencies and conversions, integrating with the Fixer API.

  • Receive notifications (Email, Telegram, Discord, etc.) for upcoming payments.

  • Self-host on your own server (using Docker or bare-metal).

  • Visualize spending with graphs and stats.

  • Customize UI, themes, currencies, languages, and even get AI-based recommendation support.

Installation’s straightforward: clone or pull the repo, set up on your server/Docker, and access via web browser.
