Local-First Expense Tracker for Freelancers

Privacy-first expense tracking that works offline and syncs when you want it to

Finance on January 20, 2026

Description

A desktop and mobile expense tracker that stores all data locally on your device. No cloud accounts required. Supports receipt scanning, automatic categorization, and tax report generation. Optional encrypted sync between your own devices.

Problem

Freelancers need to track expenses for taxes but existing tools require cloud accounts and store sensitive financial data on third-party servers. Many freelancers use spreadsheets because they do not trust SaaS tools with their financial data.

Solution

A local-first app that runs on desktop and mobile. Scan receipts with your camera, automatically categorize expenses, and generate tax-ready reports. All data stays on your device. Optional peer-to-peer sync between your own devices using end-to-end encryption. No cloud account needed.

Target Market

Freelancers and independent contractors who track expenses for tax purposes and value data privacy
