Our approach to your data

This is the foundation of every tool we create.

Your data stays with you

All of your financial information, transactions, and records remain on your Mac. We do not receive, store, or have access to any of it.

We do not ask for your data

You do not need to create an account with us. You do not need to upload your information. Optional features such as local import keep everything under your control on your device.

No tracking of any kind

Our tools do not track your activity, build profiles, or send data back to us. This is a deliberate design choice, not a setting you have to enable.

Clear and contained

The tool performs its work locally. When you choose to export information, you control where it goes.

You bring your own records

Import files from your own sources when you want to. We have no visibility into the data you choose to work with.

Protection by design

We build this way because we believe in looking after the people who use our tools. Your data is yours. We treat it that way.

Ready to get started?

The free version is available on the Mac App Store. Premium is offered directly through our website. In either case, your data remains entirely on your device.
