CLUSTER FINANCE-FIRST-INVESTMENTS · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-20

Local-first personal finance apps

This cluster consists of local-first personal finance applications that let users manage accounts, transactions, budgets, investments, and other financial data on their own machine. Dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only one dated entry exists before the index start, so the cluster's timeline predates the index or its members are largely undated. On traction, LocalFi leads with 9 stars, followed by wealth-compass at 3 stars and t-money at 2 stars.
