Hi there selfhosters.
I was looking for a self hosted open source subscription tracker for a while and since I could not find what I wanted, I decided to try to build it myself.
I used mobile apps like Billbot but the data would only be accessible on that device. I’ve also found a few web based services but would require a subscription, and the reason I wanted a subscription tracker was to get an overview of my subscriptions and start saving money by cancelling unneeded or redundant services.
Since I am using so many open source and self hosted projects I decided to try to give something back and this is how Wallos was born.
I’m not happy with the UI yet, it was my first time developing a project without a designer, but I don’t hate it either.

Feel free to open issues with bug reports or feature requests. Bug fixes will take priority.
The development cycle might not be the fastest, since I work a full time job and have a baby, but I’ll do the best I can.
Thank you and hoping the tool can be useful to someone else.

Looks cool, will definitely be checking this out later when I finish work.
Thanks!
Hi , I think the only feature missing is for the SMTP settings to allow Encryption: STARTTLS, TLS. Without that, my email stmp server provider will not allow connections.
Looks good, but have one important question: what are benefits from using this app instead of spreadsheet/some kind of no-code app builder?
Maybe notifications for upcoming subscription charges?
None really. You can probably do much more advanced stuff with a spreadsheet.
For me it’s just easier to visualise it this way and I am not very familiar with spreadsheets.
Very cool. Are there any plans to integrate some sort of notification or email when a subscription renewal is coming due? You know for those of us who go month-to-month with several services…
Yes. Was the last feature I implemented. Didn’t want to realease v1.0 without it.
On the settings page you should enable Notifications and fill the SMTP details.When notifications are enabled in the settings, on the dashboard you can individually select which subscriptions should trigger a notification.
Regards.
Does this offer multiple user support? Like an admin account and options to add some extra users.
Does anyone know how to reset a user password? It seems I’m locked out at Wallos due a wrong password in my password manager.
Create a file resetpw.php in endpoints/cronjobs/
Paste the following code:
prepare($sql);$hashedPassword = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);$stmt->bindParam(':password', $hashedPassword, SQLITE3_TEXT);$result = $stmt->execute();if ($result) {echo "Password updated successfully.";} else {echo "Error updating password.";}Change mynewpassword to your desired password. If your environment is different, please set $webPath manually.
Then run on your browser: domain:port/endpoints/cronjobs/resetpw.php
Finally, delete the resetpw.php file so it can’t be unintentionally triggered again.I haven’t tested the code, but it should work.
Awesome project bro! Thanks for sharing!
Would be cool if it tracked credit card annual fees.
definitely a cool project! could pair well with income trackers and some grafana …
as it is an expense tracker does it have an API itself?
My thought exactly! Would be cool if this could create transactions in Frirefly III and/or Actual.
An idea for you, what about debt viewing? For example, putting credit card debt, loans, all that stuff!
Might be a cool addition within the future! Anyway, FANTASTIC JOB!! It seriously looks amazing!
Thank you. Not exactly sure what you mean, but in the settings you can add categories and maybe with that you can have more or less what you want?
Does this work on arm64, as in a raspberry pi?
