Lums hit #11 organically on Product Hunt yesterday! A massive thank you to everyone who supported us by upvoting, commenting, and downloading the app.

The launch conversations highlighted one thing we ve felt since day one: most budgeting apps ask for way too much effort before giving you any value.

Usually, you download an app and spend the next hour fixing categories, adjusting settings, and correcting transactions. By the time you're "set up," you've already lost the motivation that made you download it in the first place.

@yulia_kuznetsova3 put it perfectly! She said she added her accounts to Lums and it just showed her where her money was going. No fixing things first. Just clarity.
@selina4 shared something similar. After months of bills piling up and small charges slipping by, having everything side-by-side finally made things click.

I ve been on this platform for almost three years without interruption, reviewing dozens of products every day. I try many of them, but only a few have become part of my daily routine, ones I can t imagine living without.

I will pin, for example, 3 of them:

@TabMagic - Bookmark & Tab Manager I no longer need 500 tabs open; I can save them to my dashboard and close my entire browser.

Hey everyone,

I m curious to know: What are some of the apps, tools, or services you ve discovered that have truly transformed the way you work or build your startup/product, or basically helped you in day-to-day work productivity? It could be anything from project management, productivity hacks, automation, communication, or even wellness tools that help you stay focused.

Many of us appreciate tools that save us time or money in our businesses. But there are also projects out there with a bigger mission (improving lives, supporting the planet, and helping those in need, to name a few).

Do you know of any inspiring projects that aim to make the world a better place?

Maybe this post will help makers understand how much people are willing to spend, what products are useful to them, and what the main motive for buying is.

I personally try to keep track of how much and what I spend. Before I invest in something, I consider:

• what will be the return on it (i.e. whether I will earn something by buying/investing in a product),

• whether it will be profitable for me in the long term,

• whether it will save me time.

We all have that one tool - the unsung hero quietly doing its job and saving you hours every single week.

For me (no surprise ), it s @Clueso

I see a lot of tech products on Product Hunt that are meant to improve someone else's business situation, and as many makers as possible are ideally targeting the B2B market.

However, this past week I've also seen a lot of "fun" products that not only made it into the featured category but also earned one of the product of the day titles.

Hello everyone!

My friend s mother lost around $40K on a fraudulent crypto investment. She believed she had found a golden opportunity and risked all her savings, only to be devastated when the scam unfolded. Witnessing her pain and financial loss, I both a coder and a cybersecurity specialist realized something had to change.

That's why I created StopScam: Scam Detector Pro. I built this app to provide a reliable tool for protecting your hard-earned money. With StopScam, you can manually upload screenshots, images, or take photos of digital content, physical letters, and even PDF files. Our advanced AI, machine vision, and OCR technology analyze them for scam signals.

I first installed StopScam for my family and close friends, ensuring they would never face the same hardship. And this is just the beginning! In the near future, I plan to add even more useful features to further safeguard your loved ones from fraud. StopScam is designed to be your comprehensive shield against scams, keeping you one step ahead of fraudsters.
