Project Description
CaptainLedger is a comprehensive personal finance management application designed with one fundamental principle in mind: your financial data belongs to you. In a digital landscape dominated by intrusive apps that monetize user data through ads, tracking, and cloud storage, CaptainLedger offers a refreshing alternative—complete control over your data combined with powerful financial tools.
Whether you’re an individual looking to track expenses, manage budgets, monitor investments, or keep tabs on loans, CaptainLedger delivers a robust yet user-friendly experience. It empowers users to manage their finances seamlessly across multiple devices while maintaining uncompromising privacy and security.
Core Philosophy
Privacy-First: By default, all your financial data is stored locally on your device. No third-party servers, no data harvesting, no ads, and no corporate surveillance. You decide if and when to sync your data to a server you control.
User Empowerment: Control your money with smart tools and detailed analytics, not with intrusive algorithms or marketing gimmicks.
Open Source & Transparent: The entire codebase is open under the AGPL-3.0 license, ensuring transparency, community collaboration, and freedom from vendor lock-in.
Key Features
1. Privacy & Security
All data is encrypted and stored locally by default.
Optional self-hosted server sync means your data never leaves your control.
Robust JWT authentication and device trust systems protect your account.
Offline-first design guarantees access without internet connectivity.
2. Cross-Platform Support
Built with React Native and Expo Router for native-like experiences on Android, iOS, and the Web.
Single codebase ensures feature parity and consistent UX across all platforms.
3. Expense & Budget Management
Add, categorize, and track expenses and incomes easily.
Create budgets with notifications to stay on track.
Manage recurring transactions and loans.
4. Multi-Currency & Currency Conversion
Support for multiple currencies with real-time exchange rates.
