Financy Documentation
Financy Documentation
Financy is a fast, local-first zero-based budgeting (ZBB) app: give every unit of money a job until Ready to Assign hits zero, then track your envelopes through the month. Underneath it’s real double-entry accounting, so your budget, balances and net worth are all derived from one journal and can never drift out of balance. Your data lives in a single file you own.
This is the user guide. New here? Start with Getting Started, learn the Budget workflow, then skim Core Concepts to understand the double-entry model that makes the numbers trustworthy.
