Warning
This project is under active development. The application is not yet functional and documentation is subject to change. But your data will be worth the wait.
A self-hosted personal finance tracker built for DIYers and self-hosters who want complete control over their financial data.
Take control of your financial future without surrendering your data to cloud services. Pennywise combines the power of modern budgeting methodologies with the security and flexibility of self-hosting - because your money deserves better than rented software.

Building financial freedom, one feature at a time:
- Core budgeting functionality (the foundation of financial control)
- Transaction management (track every penny)
- Credit card payment optimization (beat the system at its own game)
- Reporting and analytics (insights that matter)
- Deployment documentation (share the wealth)
Pennywise is designed to be self-hosted - your server, your rules, your data. Deployment guides for common platforms will be provided closer to the initial release (good things take time).
We believe financial software should be built by the community, for the community. Whether you're fixing bugs, adding features, improving documentation, or sharing ideas - every contribution moves us closer to true financial independence.
