Personalized Budget App
LIVEA personal-finance agent running in production, with unattended auth and guardrailed writes.
- Python
- launchd
- Tailscale
- Claude (headless)
- SSE streaming
- Vanilla JS
- Production system that has run continuously on a Mac mini via launchd, reachable privately over Tailscale.
- Unattended authentication: a self-healing login (credsync) keeps headless jobs authorized without a human in the loop.
- Guardrailed writes: the read-only assistant is hard-locked to Read/Grep/Glob with Bash/Write/Edit disallowed — verified that write attempts are refused.
What does this do, in simple terms?
A private dashboard that watches money so nobody has to. Every day it reads incoming bank and card alert emails, keeps itself up to date, and shows one simple number: how much is safe to spend before the next bills pull.
It also answers plain-English questions — “can this month’s rent be covered?” — by reading the real numbers. And it’s built so the AI can see everything but can never change or move anything. That same pattern fits any business workflow that needs constant eyes on incoming data, without risk.
