A self-hosted app for work hours and subscription costs
A personal is needed to manage two everyday tasks in one place: work hours and costs. The work-hours side should let someone log hours or tap clock in and clock out from a phone, then check at the end of the month whether the paycheck is correct. The expense side should track regular payments such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, internet service, and similar monthly costs.
Large business systems such as Odoo, ERPNext, and Jira are too much for this need. Standard to-do lists and are also not a fit. Team management and multi-user permissions are unnecessary because this is for one person.
The setup should work well with Docker and be easy to use on mobile, either through a polished PWA or a native app connected by an API. If one app cannot cover both needs, a modern two-app setup with a similar look and feel would also work.

- Work hours should be easy to log from a phone and useful for checking monthly pay.
- Recurring costs include services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, and internet service.
- Large business platforms and normal to-do apps are not suitable for this need.
