Beats Mint and YNAB: runs local, estimates taxes, connects AI chat to real data.

Strengths
  • Fully local option with Ollama avoids API dependency and vendor lock-in
  • Tax estimation with Schedule C generation for self-employed, rarely automated elsewhere
  • Receipt and email scanning with automatic categorization closes entire data-entry friction
  • Plaid + CSV import flexibility handles real messy portfolios
Weaknesses
  • macOS-only release limits immediate Windows/Linux adoption
  • Depends on Claude/OpenAI for best results unless Ollama local models mature enough
