Local-first by design

The Finance App That Respects Your Privacy

GODFIN runs on your laptop. Parse HDFC bank statements, classify spending, and generate useful reports without sending your financial life to someone else's database.

Local SQLite No subscription No telemetry in the app Indian banks

Built around your boundaries

Private enough for money. Practical enough for Monday.

GODFIN combines the control of a spreadsheet with the workflow of a modern finance app—without turning your transaction history into a hosted product.

Your data stays yours

Statements, transactions, categories, budgets, and reports live in SQLite on your laptop—not in a GODFIN cloud database.

Classification that learns

Rules and merchant memory handle daily work locally. Optional AI helps only when you choose to enable it.

Reports built for India

Understand cash flow, recurring spend, budget pressure, and reviewed category trends without spreadsheet surgery.

Bank-aware imports

Import HDFC savings and credit-card statements today. The plugin architecture adds other banks only after their formats are verified.

Useful while offline

The desktop app and its database run locally. Network access is optional for downloads, licensing, Gmail, or your chosen AI.

Pay once

Core is free forever. Pro and Max are one-time purchases—there is no software subscription waiting to compound.

A complete local workflow

Follow the work, from statement to reviewed evidence.

Every demonstration below was captured from the working app with privacy-safe synthetic data. No generated UI art, hidden cloud ledger, or unshipped promise.

01 · Statement import

Review the bank file before it becomes your ledger.

HDFC PDF and Excel imports preview, reconcile, and surface exceptions before committing rows. OpenDataLoader remains benchmark-only until it proves a material accuracy gain.

  • Preview and reconcile before import
  • Duplicate and account-routing checks
  • Deterministic classification works without AI

02 · Classification memory

Correct it once. See why it was classified next time.

Confirmed corrections build local merchant and transaction-pattern memory. GODFIN shows the source behind each choice, and finalized months remain untouched.

  • Exact merchant memory has priority
  • Learning uses explicit corrections only
  • Inspect, undo, export, or reset what was learned

03 · Goals

A savings goal with a history—not a mystery number.

Start with what you have already saved, add deposits or withdrawals, and keep an auditable contribution ledger. Pro and Max can surface FD or RD candidates for confirmation.

  • Opening balance and future updates stay traceable
  • Simulation discloses its formula, capacity, and data coverage
  • Detected deposits never change a goal without confirmation

04 · Recurring review

Recurring does not mean guessed.

Calendar-aware detection looks for repeated evidence, amount variability, and merchant-account consistency. Review candidates before turning them into tracked subscriptions.

  • Monthly, quarterly, and annual patterns
  • Transfers, reversals, and stale patterns are excluded
  • Re-detect reports what was created, updated, or retired

05 · CA tax pack

Hand over evidence, warnings, and filing context together.

The paid CA export is one review-oriented ZIP: a multi-sheet XLSX, raw CSV, reconciliation JSON, manifest hashes, and an AY 2026–27 filing guide.

  • Flags unclassified, low-confidence, duplicate, and incomplete data
  • Includes masked accounts and transfer/reversal review sheets
  • Never claims transaction data alone is filing-ready

06 · Local boundary

Your finance database stays on your computer.

Statements, transaction history, category memory, goals, and reports remain on your computer. The website handles accounts, purchases, licenses, activations, and downloads.

  • No remote app database
  • Local backups under your control
  • AI is optional: local, bring-your-own provider, or none

Clear data boundary

The website sells the license. The app holds the money data.

Website accounts store only what is needed for purchases, licenses, device activations, and downloads. Your app database remains on your device.

Your Mac or PC

Bank statements, transactions, merchant memory, budgets, audit history, reports, and your local PIN.

GODFIN website

Account email, purchase records, license status, activations, and downloads. No transaction ledger.

Simple ownership

Start free. Upgrade once.

Core costs nothing. Pro and Max are lifetime desktop licenses. Credit packs are optional one-time top-ups.
