Why this exists
I lost ten thousand dollars to small purchases I never noticed across two years without a steady paycheck. Energy drinks. Patreons I forgot about. DoorDash. Subscription creep. The whole drift of money that happens when you're not tracking it because no existing tool fits how you actually earn.
Existing personal finance apps assume monthly paychecks. I haven't had one in years. Probably you haven't either. So I built the tool I wished existed: one that thinks in runway instead of budgets, sets aside taxes automatically, and texts me when my habits are quietly costing real money.
Atticus Fin is named after the wise counsel I needed and didn't have. It's direct, never sassy. It tells me the tradeoff when I ask if I can afford something. It doesn't moralize, doesn't pad, doesn't gamify. It's the financial advisor I'd want at a kitchen table — and it lives in my text messages because that's where I actually pay attention.
About the company
Atticus Fin is built by Onuska Industries LLC, a Pennsylvania company I founded for software that touches real money. I'm also an EE student at Drexel University and the founder of KaidoTrainer (electronics education for kids). I build things in public and ship them under my own name.
