OwnFi

What OwnFi is
OwnFi is a free personal-finance app for Android and iOS that imports financial records and keeps processing local. It parses PDF, CSV, and OFX statements, supporting 27 named bank and card formats plus a generic fallback. The app shows spending, upcoming bills, and available spending money. Safe to Spend reserves upcoming bills and converts the remainder into a daily figure, while Time Machine projects balances from three months to two years with what-if changes. Users can import broker holdings, track budgets, bills, and net worth, and export reports. Account updates are manual: users import files, receipts, screenshots, notifications, or enter transactions. OwnFi does not directly connect to banks or log in to brokers. Financial data stays on the device, with an encrypted local database; its advisor uses on-device models when available or deterministic calculations. Optional services fetch AI models, exchange rates, and public ticker prices. The Free plan costs nothing, with no subscription or paid tier planned.

Verdict
OwnFi combines broad financial tracking with manual imports and local processing at no cost. Its main trade-off is the lack of direct bank connections, so users must maintain records themselves.
