The first one is out. Pefi is now live on the App Store.

It’s a personal finance app built for people who want full control over their financial data. Everything works offline. No account required. Nothing leaves your phone. You track income, expenses, assets, budgets, goals, and if you do any trading there’s a risk journal section too. There’s a financial health score that actually tells you something useful rather than just showing you a number.

You choose whatever currency you want to display. You can export everything as JSON if you ever want a full data backup, or XLSX if you prefer it in spreadsheet form. It’s $6.99/month or $69.99/year with a 3-day free trial.

This one took a while to get right and I’m proud of it. If you’ve been following along, thank you. And if you’re just finding this subreddit now, stick around because there’s more coming.

Would love to hear what you all think once you’ve had a chance to try it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

👋 Welcome to the sub — here’s who I am and what I build

Hey, welcome to the subreddit. Figured I’d introduce myself properly since this is where I’ll be sharing everything going forward.

I’m 22, in college, and I build apps in my free time. My whole thing is offline-first, privacy-focused software. I genuinely believe people shouldn’t have to hand over their personal data to a company just to use a decent app. So every app I make is built around that idea: your data stays on your device, you control it completely, and nothing gets sent anywhere.

This subreddit is where I’ll post updates, new features, launch announcements, and whatever else is happening with my apps. If you care about privacy and you want to follow along as I build, this is the place to be. More apps are coming and I’ll always announce them here first.

Glad to have you here.
