Chapter 01

Everything you
need.
Nothing you
don't.

No bank connection, no hidden subscriptions, no data brokers. CashOwl runs on your device. Period. It's a principle, not a feature.

  • Many accounts, one view.

    Checking, savings, cash, a joint account with your partner — all in one place. Without ever entering a banking password.

  • Log income & expenses in seconds.

    Category, amount, done. Optionally add a photo of the receipt, a note, or a location. Fewer taps than posting an Instagram story.

  • Reports you can actually read.

    Cash flow, savings rate, category trends — visual, not buried in jargon. See where your money really goes in 10 seconds.

  • Recurring entries.

    Rent, Netflix, gym, salary — set it up once, book automatically. No busy-work on the first of the month.

  • Offline & private.

    No forced cloud. No ads. No data sharing. Optional encrypted backup — but only if you want it.

  • Your own categories & tags.

    Your life doesn't fit into 8 default categories. Build a system that mirrors how you think — with colors, icons, and sub-categories.

Why CashOwl exists
"A household ledger should show you where your money goes — not explain what cash flow means."
