A private, encrypted personal-finance app for Mac. Import the statements your bank already gives you — PDF, CSV, or OFX — and see where your money actually goes. No cloud. No subscription. No bank logins. Ever.
How it works
No account creation, no linking your bank, no learning curve.
The PDF, CSV, or OFX/QFX file your bank already lets you download. Sumhouse reads it, skips what you’ve imported before, and never loses a row silently.
Rules you control categorize your spending. Credit-card payments and transfers get linked automatically — so they never inflate your income or double-count a dollar.
Spending, income sources, subscriptions, budgets, net worth over time — real analytics, computed on your Mac, in milliseconds.

Privacy
Most finance apps upload your transactions to their servers. Sumhouse has no servers.
The app phones home exactly twice, ever: once to validate your license key, and a manual “check for updates” that runs only when you click it. That’s the entire network footprint.
Your data lives in one SQLCipher-encrypted database file in your home folder, protected by a passphrase only you know — with Touch ID for convenience.
Sumhouse never asks for your banking credentials and never connects to your bank. You feed it statement files; that’s the whole relationship.
There’s no sign-up and no profile of you held anywhere — because there’s no server to hold one. Even this website ships without a single tracker or third-party script.
Automatic local snapshots before risky operations, plus one-click encrypted backups you can keep on any drive. Your data never depends on our existence.
Features
Built for people who want the truth about their spending without handing it to a startup.
Bank-agnostic PDF parsing, a CSV mapper that learns each bank’s layout, and OFX/QFX support. Re-imports are safely skipped.
Credit-card payments and between-account moves are linked automatically so your income and savings rate are honest.
Recurring charges detected from your real history — see the monthly bleed, catch price hikes, spot what you forgot to cancel.
Monthly caps with smart suggestions, plus a rules engine with live match previews for hands-off categorizing.
Assets vs. liabilities over time, savings-rate trend, top merchants, income by source, and plain-language insights.
A real Mac app: instant full-text search, keyboard shortcuts, dark mode, and CSV export of anything you see.
Pricing
No subscription, no upsells, no “premium tier” for your own data.
One click composes an email to support@sumhouse.app — that’s the whole “waitlist.”
FAQ
In ~/Library/Application Support/app.sumhouse/ on your Mac — one
encrypted database file plus your encrypted backups. Delete that folder and the
app, and Sumhouse never existed.
Your data is unrecoverable — by design. There is no reset email because there is no server and no account. We say this loudly so you choose a passphrase you’ll remember, and keep a backup on a drive you control.
Any bank that lets you download statements. OFX/QFX imports are the most exact, CSV works everywhere with a column mapper that remembers each bank’s layout, and the PDF parser handles most U.S. bank and credit-card statements.
Nothing for 14 days. Afterwards everything you imported stays fully viewable and exportable — the app only stops you adding or importing new data until you enter a license key.
Yes — macOS 14 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel, signed and notarized. A Windows version may follow; tell us if you want it.

Keep it that way. One private app, on your Mac, that finally tells you the truth about your spending.
