Investment monitoring tool for data nerds and privacy buffs
Hey HN, As someone who geeks out on both investment data and privacy tech, I built Capitally to scratch my own itch. It's encrypted on-device so that once I can afford to hire a second engineer, he cannot peek into my own data! I wanted a way to monitor ALL my investments (stocks, crypto, real estate, angel investments, etc.) in one place and really dig into the data - but without compromising my privacy.

In plain words
Capitally is an investment monitoring tool that consolidates stocks, crypto, real estate, and other investments in one dashboard with detailed performance analysis. It uses on-device encryption and processes all data locally in the browser, ensuring investment information never reaches servers unencrypted. Users can import data from CSVs and spreadsheets through a flexible no-code editor and generate performance breakdowns and income projections while maintaining complete privacy control over their information.

Hey HN, As someone who geeks out on both investment data and privacy tech, I built Capitally to scratch my own itch. It's encrypted on-device so that once I can afford to hire a second engineer, he cannot peek into my own data! I wanted a way to monitor ALL my investments (stocks, crypto, real estate, angel investments, etc.) in one place and really dig into the data - but without compromising my privacy. Here's how Capitally makes that possible: On the data side: Import data from CSVs, spreadsheets, or any other source via a flexible no-code editor Map any data format into a standardized schema Slice and dice with performance breakdowns, future income projections, and more On the privacy side: All data is encrypted and processed locally in your browser Your investment data never hits our servers unencrypted You retain complete control and ownership of your info It's a huge challenge to build a powerful analysis tool that still keeps data local. And making it into a sustainable business (still much in progress). Would love feedback, especially on the import flow, encryption and analysis features.

Thank you for your comments, just some context: - The app is a simple desktop application that works on macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu. - I developed this app for my own needs. Getting tired of SaaS app subscriptions and privacy concerns. - For now, the activities are logged manually or imported from a CSV file. No integration with Plaid or other platforms. - No monetization is planned for now (only a "buy me a coffee" if you use and appreciate the app).

I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
