FinanzPilot is a self-hosted personal finance web application designed for tracking income, expenses, accounts, recurring transactions, loans, and imported bank data without relying on a third-party SaaS platform.
It combines a Laravel backend with a Vue/Inertia frontend, offers Docker Compose deployment, and includes privacy-conscious AI analysis where financial data is anonymized before being sent to supported AI providers.
This is free and open source software.
