I’m working on https://finbodhi.com — a double-entry personal finance tool where you own your data. It’s local-first, syncs across devices, and everything’s encrypted in transit.

It helps you track, understand, and plan your personal finances — with a proper accounting foundation.

It's interesting in many way. Using double-entry (it's a perspective shift), the technical challenges of building local-first app, UI/UX & visualizations, privacy and more.

This looks very interesting. Do you support double entry bookkeeping not avoid errors? Is there support for transactions with more than one currency?

Ya, the product is built on double-entry. In case you are interested: https://finbodhi.com/docs/understanding-double-entry

On multiple currency, we have support for it as a commodity. We are planning to make it easier, in future. There is support for split transactions. So, transactions with more than one currency will work by associating them with accounts in different currency.
