Everything at a glance: net worth, this month’s budget, what’s due, and what just happened.
Private by architecture
Your data lives in a single file on your disk. The app talks to no server of ours because there isn’t one. The only network calls it ever makes are to services you opt into with your own API key — exchange rates and security prices — and it works completely offline without them.
Built for complicated money
Multi-currency with historical FX. Investments with FIFO cost basis, dividends, splits, bonds and options. Property, vehicles, and loans with real amortisation. Most tools flatten all of this into “accounts”; this one doesn’t.
Actually free
GPL-3.0. No trial clock, no feature gate, no upsell. The source is on GitHub and the binaries are built from it in public CI.
Yours to keep
One .mfl file, plain SQLite. Installing, upgrading or removing the app never touches it. If the project vanished tomorrow your data would still open.
What it does
For money that’s more complicated than one current account
Multiple accounts, multiple currencies, property, loans, and a portfolio with real holdings
and real cost bases — a complete picture, entirely on your own machine.
Cash flow
Where the money actually went
Income in, spending out, savings at the end — traced end to end. Drill into any figure to reach the transactions behind it.
Budgeting
This month, burning down
An envelope/zero-sum hybrid: assign what you have, roll over what you don’t spend. Know on the 12th whether you’ll make it.
Investments
Real returns, not flattering ones
FIFO cost basis, unrealised and realised gains, dividends and money-weighted IRR — across shares, funds, bonds and options.
One type scale and one set of design tokens across every screen, in both themes. Big
legible numbers either way.

My Retirement Life
Where My Financial Life tracks your money today, My Retirement Life projects it forward
through retirement — drawdown order, tax, inflation and life events — and answers whether
it lasts. The two are designed to exchange data, so a salary change or property sale
recorded here can feed the projection.
