Local-first finance: why your money data stays on your Mac

Your financial history is among your most sensitive data. Canopy Finance keeps it on-device by default, syncing privately via your iCloud database so your information never hits third‑party servers.

Why local-first?

  • Control and ownership of your data - You own your financial information completely
  • Instant performance with your full history - No waiting for server responses
  • Works offline - Sync never blocks the UI, and you can access everything without internet

On-device intelligence
