What does local-first mean?

Local-first means your financial data is created and kept on your own device by default. Misto works fully offline and never uploads your ledger to a company server. You are the only owner of your data.

Is Misto's Financial really free?

Yes, the core app is free forever: your ledger, budgets, goals, Tax Vault, statement imports, and every export. Premium is a one-time $49 payment for lifetime access with no subscription. Your data is never the product at any tier.

How do I get my bank data into Misto?

You can import a statement in CSV, PDF, OFX, QFX, or QIF format and it's parsed on your device so the raw file never leaves you. Premium members can also connect a bank to pull transactions automatically on the phone app. You review everything before it's saved.

What is zero-knowledge privacy?

Zero-knowledge means Misto is built so that no one, not even Misto, can read your financial information. Your ledger lives on your device and anything you back up is encrypted before it leaves, with a key only you hold.

Do I have to connect my bank?

Not at all. Adding accounts by hand and importing statements are free and work on every device forever. Automatic bank sync is just an optional Premium convenience.

Overview

Misto's Financial is a local-first personal finance application that keeps your complete financial ledger on your device rather than cloud servers. You can import statements from any bank in CSV, PDF, OFX, QFX, or QIF format, with all parsing happening on your device so raw files never leave your hands.

The app provides zero-knowledge privacy: your ledger is encrypted on your device before any backup leaves, and even Misto cannot read it. Premium members receive daily AI insights called "Misto's notes" that provide calm observations about spending, bills, and goals, while free users get weekly notes.

Core features include local-first budgeting with zero-based envelopes, savings goals with progress tracking, tax-deductible spending detection, multi-currency support in 16 languages, and optional read-only bank sync for automatic transaction pulls. There is no subscription: Premium is a one-time $49 lifetime unlock, and everything that lives on your device remains free forever.
