Overview

Angelfish is a new personal finance tracking tool that will help you and your household plan, track and achieve financial freedom. For more information on why the world needs another personal finance app, please read our origin story.

Angelfish has been designed as a Desktop app that will run on all major operating systems (MacOS, Windows, Linux) so that your data is stored locally and privately under your control. This means that we do not store any of your financial data on our own servers in the Cloud. We believe that your personal financial data is private to you, and we have many reasons to believe this will be increasingly important in the future too. In future we hope to provide the best of both the Cloud experience (multi-user, multi-device) and local privacy using a Peer-to-Peer architecture to store your data encrypted in a decentralised model. You can read more about our Security and Privacy model here

Right now the app is provided for users to get started using the Angelfish experience as a Desktop only app. This will allow us to start collecting feedback and improving the user experience for the app itself, while we work in the background to enable the decentralised architecture in the longer term.

The first version of the app is designed to get a detailed overview of your household’s cashflow: income and expenses. It will enable you to add accounts, sync or import transactions, categorise them and build reports to get a holistic view of where your money is coming and going. This by itself will help household’s understand how close or far they are from achieving financial freedom, and to start making some informed decisions on where they can improve their cashflow to achieve their goals faster. In future versions, Angelfish will also allow you to track your investments, assets and loans, to give you a total aggregated picture of all your finances, and become the central hub to manage all of them.

These docs are provided to help new users get started using Angelfish, and will be updated on a continuous basis with user feedback and as the app evolves.
