Take back control of your financial data.

No. No data ever leaves your computer. No server, no cloud, no account required. Everything is stored locally in an encrypted database (AES-256).

Your vault opens only with your password: no recovery key, no backdoor. If you lose the password, there is no way to recover it. Since your data is a local encrypted file, backing it up is up to you.

No, no cloud, no sync. Your vault is just a local file: back it up like any important file (Time Machine, external drive…).

Yes, 100%. Annova works entirely offline. No internet connection is needed, ever.

None.

There's no closed list. You select transactions directly on the statement PDF, whatever your bank. Scanned PDFs are supported on macOS.

Not for now. I'd rather start from sources that stay reliable and verifiable over time, like your bank statements, than hand-entered data that's often incomplete or inconsistent.

APIs do have one advantage: they give more recent data, more easily. But they often only go back a few months, break regularly and need maintenance. For long history — beyond two years — statements are the only reliable, stable source. Since the whole point is seeing the long run, that's the choice I made.

It's a monthly rhythm, yes. But see it as an appointment with yourself: a regular check-in to take stock and see where you stand. Statements usually arrive on the same day each month, an easy habit to build.

Just import the new bank's statements. All your accounts live in one place, and your whole history stays there.

If a PDF doesn't read cleanly, you select the lines by hand, or retry. Nothing is half-saved.

macOS (10.13 High Sierra or later) and Windows (10 or later). Annova is built with Tauri (Rust), making it lightweight and fast.

Yes. Annova is available on Windows 10 or later (.msi installer), exactly like on macOS. Just one difference today: OCR for scanned PDFs is only supported on macOS. Everything else is identical. A Pro license works on both systems.

Because the app is young and not widely known yet, macOS (Gatekeeper) or Windows (SmartScreen) may show a warning on first launch. On macOS: right-click the app and choose "Open". On Windows: "More info" then "Run anyway". Everything stays local, nothing installs in the background.

Because everything is local: no cloud, so no web app. And working across years of data suits the desktop better. A mobile version may come later, but the core will stay local.

You classify your transactions by hand, in batches when several look alike. You decide, no black box. Automation is available in Annova Pro.

Yes. Accounts are unlimited, and you can link them to people. Ideal for a couple or a family.

Yes. You can delete an import, delete an entire account, or wipe all your data and start fresh. No lock-in.

A lifetime license, no subscription, activatable on up to 5 machines. The same key works on macOS and Windows.
