    Ray▲298

    I've been using this daily for 4 months and figured others might find it useful. This is my first open source project so would love any feedback. Ray connects to your bank via Plaid, stores everything in an encrypted local SQLite database, and lets you ask questions about your finances in natural language. No cloud, no account, your data is stored on your machine. Before anything reaches the LLM, all PII is stripped — your name, companies, transaction details are redacted and replaced with tokens, then rehydrated locally in the response. The AI never sees who you are.

    Hi, I'm building an open-source self-hostable document extraction tool powered by LLM. There are popular data extraction tools and OCR tools in the market. None of them are open source. Most accounting firms, law firms, insurance, back office, and real-estate folks would like to use a tool like this. You can add PDF documents, Images, and audio files and create columns to answer questions on documents or extract information into tabular format.

    Hey everyone, I built Indiebooks.io . A free bookkeeping app that automatically organizes your finances and fills out CRA/IRS tax forms for you. It’s built for freelancers, indie devs, and small business owners in Canada and the US who want to stay compliant without spending weekends in spreadsheets. What it does - Tracks income & expenses automatically - Handles GST/HST, PST, QST (yes, even Quebec math) - Supports US taxes and state sales tax - Auto-fills CRA/IRS tax forms so you can just review and file - Lets you ask AI things like “What’s my profit this quarter?” - 100%…

    As I couldn't find a proper web based open source tool that could help me with my bookkeeping, I spend a week to built one myself. It's based on laravel and provides revenue, expenses, travel allowance and depreciation sections. Everything is then merged to an annual statement, that can be exported as a pdf and used for tax filing. It's far away from perfect (no tests yet), but I would be happy to hear what you think about it and maybe find someone to join in.
