Budget like a capybara.

A local-first personal finance app. Your data lives in plain CSV files in a folder you choose. No cloud, no subscription, no nonsense.

Why Capy Budget?

Plain CSV Files

Your data is human-readable CSV. Open it in Excel, write scripts against it, or just back it up by copying a folder.

No Cloud, No Account

Everything runs locally. No sign-ups, no servers, no telemetry. Point your data folder at iCloud or Dropbox for free sync.

AI-Powered Import

Paste a bank statement or CSV and let Claude parse, categorize, and deduplicate your transactions. You review before anything is saved.

Every Account Type

Cash, checking, savings, credit cards, investments, loans, crypto — track everything in one place with derived balances.

Keyboard-First

Built for speed. Type transactions, navigate with shortcuts, and manage your budget without reaching for the mouse.

Open Source

MIT licensed. Read every line, fork it, extend it. Built with Tauri, React, and TypeScript.
