About FFFFinance

FFFFinance is a local-first personal finance app built for New Zealand. It connects to your bank accounts through Akahu open banking, categorises your transactions automatically, and gives you a real-time dashboard of your financial life.

Everything runs on your machine. No accounts, no cloud, no middlemen. Your data stays yours.

Why

Most personal finance tools are built for the US market, require cloud accounts, and treat your financial data as their product. FFFFinance is the opposite:

  • Local-first -- your data lives on your machine in a SQLite database
  • NZ-native -- NZD formatting, GST at 15%, provisional tax dates, NZ bank connections
  • No subscription required -- the free tier gives you everything you need
  • AI-powered -- Freddy runs local models on your hardware, no data sent anywhere
  • Open banking -- real bank feeds via Akahu, not screen scraping

The Stack

Built as a desktop app with a local database — your financial data stays on your machine. AI runs locally with GPU auto-detection for fast responses. 20+ themes, 7 fonts, fully customisable tiling layouts, and beautiful charts.

Who

FFFFinance is made by MegaSuperSoft -- a small software studio focused on building tools that respect your data and your time.
