Small business owner needs a clean, simple finance tracker that shows transactions, debts, and recurring payments on one page and connects to bank and Shopify, but found existing bank-linking tools like Plaid too complex for a solo personal app.

Existing bank connection services like Plaid require extensive compliance and setup that is overkill for a simple, single-user app; no simple self-serve alternative allows easy bank and Shopify connection with a clean unified dashboard.
