What it does

Local-first budgeting app with AI built in. Your data stays on your machine in plain CSV files. Free and open source for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
No subscription, no cloud, no lock-in. Plain CSV files that you can open in Excel. Cash, checking, savings, credit cards, investments. Every account, every transaction, one view. Spending breakdowns, monthly budgets, net worth over time. Ask in plain English, or just click around. Drop in a CSV from your bank, a statement screenshot, a photo of a receipt. Tell Capy what's there. It does the rest. Pick a folder on your computer. That's your budget. Capy creates a few CSVs. Drag in CSVs from your bank, paste from Plaid, or type them. Capy categorizes.

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
