PennyBolt

Your money. Your eyes only.

A personal finance app that keeps everything on your machine — not someone else's server.

Try free for 90 days

Every other finance app wants your data on their servers, your credit card on file every month, and the power to lock you out whenever they feel like it. They raise prices. They kill features. They make it harder to get your own data out.

PennyBolt is different.

Your entire financial history lives in a single file you control. Copy it. Back it up. Move it anywhere. Keep it forever. No lock-in. No dependency. No surprises.

🔐

Your data never leaves your computer. Ever.

No accounts, no cloud, no breach risk. Your bank statements, spending, net worth — all on your machine. Nobody else sees a byte.

💰

Buy it once. Own it forever.

No subscriptions. No "your plan is expiring" emails. PennyBolt keeps working whether we ship an update next week or next decade.

Your bank statements finally make sense.

Smart merchant matching turns cryptic bank codes into real names. Auto-categorization that learns. Reports that show you where your money actually goes.

🔓

Your data goes where you go.

One portable file. Export anytime. Switch from Quicken or Mint in minutes. You should stay because it's great, not because you're stuck.

🎛️

As much help as you want. No more, no less.

Want PennyBolt to handle everything automatically? Done. Prefer to categorize manually? Also done. You set the dial.

💻

Mac. Windows. Linux. One app, same experience.

Your data is a single file you can copy, back up, or move to a new computer in seconds. No migration wizard. No export dance. Just grab the file and go.

Import anything. Own everything.

Built for people who...

You shouldn't need a subscription to manage your financial history

Quicken charges you every year just to see your own money. Mint sold your data to advertisers. YNAB raised prices and told you to deal with it. PennyBolt is different — you buy it, you own it, and nobody else ever sees a dime or a data point.

Free 90-day trial. Then $49.99 to own it. $29.99/yr for updates — optional, never required.
