Track your expenses simply, without intrusive banking apps
Record your expenses and visualize your budget at a glance with ExpenseOwl, installed and maintained by DINAO. Your financial data stays on our French servers — yours alone.
What is ExpenseOwl?
ExpenseOwl is a self-hosted expense tracking tool, deliberately minimalist, with a modern and clean interface. Add an expense in seconds — amount, date, category — without complex setup or superfluous features.
The dashboard highlights a monthly pie chart and a cash flow indicator to instantly understand your spending breakdown. ExpenseOwl supports custom categories, currency symbols, recurring transactions, and CSV import / export, with no banking connections whatsoever: data entry remains manual, and the data belongs to you.
Written in Go, lightweight and deployable in a container, it supports file storage or PostgreSQL. Hosted by DINAO, ExpenseOwl keeps your financial data in France, on an isolated, private, and monitored instance.

Technical details
You might be wondering…
Does ExpenseOwl connect to my bank?
No, and that's intentional. ExpenseOwl is a manual entry tool, simple and private: no banking aggregation, no access to your accounts. You retain full control.
Is this a complete budgeting app?
No. ExpenseOwl focuses on expense tracking by category with clear visualization. That's its strength: staying simple rather than stacking features.
Is my financial data private?
Yes. Everything stays on your instance hosted in France, with no sharing or advertising. You can export your data to CSV at any time.
Can I manage recurring expenses?
Yes. ExpenseOwl handles recurring transactions (subscriptions, regular income) and custom categories.
Can multiple people use it?
The tool is designed for simple use (personal or small household/organization). DINAO advises on sizing based on your context.
