Frequently asked questions
Who is Qifora for?
For anyone who wants a real overview of their finances across multiple accounts, banks or currencies. From a household budget to a full net-worth picture.
Is Qifora an alternative to Quicken, YNAB, Mint, or Portfolio Performance?
Yes, if you want local-first, open-source personal finance with multiple currencies, QIF/CSV import and transparent files. Quicken has mature bank and tax workflows, YNAB is stronger for envelope budgeting, and Portfolio Performance is excellent for investment tracking. Qifora focuses on a full local finance overview, multi-currency data and extensibility.
What does Qifora cost?
The beta is free. Qifora is open source under the AGPL; there is currently no paid Qifora offer.
Where is my financial data stored?
Only locally, on your own machine. Qifora runs no server that stores or processes your financial data, and it works offline.
How do my transactions get into Qifora?
Through QIF and CSV exports from online banking. Reusable import profiles and rules help map the data; you can review the result before importing it.
Does Qifora support multiple currencies?
Yes. Qifora is built from the ground up for accounts in multiple currencies, including transfers between currencies and exchange rates.
What does open source mean here, concretely?
The entire source code will be published under the AGPL for the 1.0 release. Anyone can then verify what happens to the data, compile the app themselves, and extend it.
Can I connect Qifora to my own AI agents?
A secure local MCP interface is in development and is not part of the beta yet. Later, you will choose the compatible agent and provider, the permissions you grant, and the data you share. Qifora will not operate its own AI service for this.
How does the beta work?
Fill in the form and I will get back to you personally by email. The beta is free. I am looking for people with real multi-account finances who give honest feedback and expect rough edges.
Can I import data from other finance apps?
Yes, through QIF and CSV import, for example from Quicken or other finance apps. Import profiles can be reused and adapted to the export format.
