seven23.io has a new coat of paint. The marketing site was rebuilt this month - layout, copy, and this blog, which now lives on the same site instead of a separate project. A lot of that work was done with AI in the loop: faster to try ideas, easier to keep the pages consistent.
The product itself has not changed its mind. Seven23 is still a fully manual budget app. I still open it every day. That has been true since 2011, and it is still the tool I trust with my own numbers.
What this means for the project
I will keep maintaining Seven23: bug fixes, dependency updates, the occasional small improvement, and the encrypted hosted option. I will just do it less actively.
Most of my building time now goes to Shellui, a microfrontend shell so you can work on the app instead of the infrastructure around it. Seven23 stays open source, still MIT, still there. The pace simply matches a project I run for myself and for whoever else finds it useful - not a full-time product company.
If something is broken, the bug tracker is still the right place.
