Introducing Big Picture Money

Big Picture Money

Big Picture Money is local-first, privacy-focused personal finance software for people who want modern tools without handing their entire financial life to an advertising company.

Why we are building this

Personal finance software used to be software you bought, installed, and controlled. Today, many products treat you as the product — mining your spending habits for advertising and data brokerage.

We think your financial software should help you understand your money, not turn your financial life into someone else's business model.

What makes Big Picture Money different

  • Local-first — Your data lives in an encrypted file on your computer.
  • Privacy by default — Optional telemetry, transparent AI, export always available.
  • Optional sync — Use your own SimpleFIN subscription, or add Connected Services (coming soon) for Plaid integration and multi-device sync provided by Big Picture Money.

What is available now

The desktop app is in active development. The documentation covers installation, everyday tasks, imports, and security concepts. Marketing pages on this site explain features, pricing, and our privacy approach.
