Getting started

WELCOME

Spent in five minutes.

A local-only personal finance tracker for Israeli banks. Beautiful, private, open source.

Spent runs entirely on your own computer. It signs into your Israeli banks for you, pulls down the last few months of transactions, sorts them into categories, and shows you a calm dashboard at localhost. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry.

The dashboard you’ll wake up to every morning.

What you’ll need

• A Mac, Windows PC, or Linux machine.
• About 10 minutes to install and 5 to connect a bank.
• Your bank login credentials (same ones you use on the bank’s website).
• Optional: an Anthropic API key for Claude, or Ollama installed locally. You can also skip AI entirely.

Heads up

Spent automates your bank’s website on your behalf. Some banks restrict this in their terms. You’re responsible for using Spent within them. Read the full Disclaimer before installing.
