What is MyFinanceBook?
MyFinanceBook is an income and expense tracker built from the bank statements you export, as PDF or CSV. You review every row before it's saved, then ask the built-in assistant or Claude where your money went. There is no bank connection.
Is there a mobile app?
Not yet. The Claude connector is free on every plan, and Claude is on your phone – so your ledger is already mobile, it just isn't our app.
You send my statement to Anthropic – how is that better than connecting my bank?
It is a difference in kind. An aggregator holds standing, live access to your account and keeps pulling. A statement is one bounded historical document you chose to hand over, read once and discarded. There is no connection to revoke because nothing stands. And if that is still too much, manual entry works.
Does it do budgets or savings goals?
Not yet. Today the app gives you a straight answer about your money. It doesn't put you on a program. Budgeting is on the roadmap, and it arrives in the plan you're already on – it won't become a higher tier.
Can my partner and I share one ledger?
Yes. Import both your statements into one ledger, and the totals cover you both, with no extra charge per person. Each transaction shows which account it came from, so you can look at one card at a time. We sort by account, not by person: the app never needs to know your names.
Does moving money between my own accounts count as spending?
No. Transfers between your own accounts, cash withdrawals and savings top-ups go in the transfer category, and totals, charts and the assistant leave that category out. The statement import suggests it for those rows, and you can change it. Because a cash withdrawal isn't counted, what you buy with the cash counts only when you add it by hand.
Which AI assistants work with MyFinanceBook?
Claude, through the connector, and the assistant built into the app. The app is built to add others, and they're on the roadmap.
Can I export my data and leave?
Your ledger exports to CSV whenever you like and imports back in cleanly, and you can delete your account yourself, from Settings. You're never locked in.
How much does MyFinanceBook cost?
The ledger, the reports, the export and the Claude connector are free, permanently. You pay only if you want the app itself to do the AI work – from €11.99 a year, VAT included. See the plans →
Does MyFinanceBook give financial advice?
No, and deliberately not. It'll answer questions about money you've already recorded and give ordinary rules of thumb – ask whether €550 on groceries is a lot and it'll ask what country you're in and how many people you're feeding, then tell you. It has nothing to say about investments, crypto or what to do with your savings.
