# FinanceTracking.app

> FinanceTracking.app is self-hosted monthly budgeting software focused on accounts, recurring transactions, month creation and review, CSV imports, and versioned backups.

FinanceTracking.app is not a hosted bank-sync product. It is a self-hosted app for people who want to plan one month at a time, keep recurring budget structure reusable, track accounts manually, and keep full control of their own deployment and data.

## Important Notes

- Self-hosted from the GitHub repository, usually with Docker.
- No automatic bank syncing; manual account tracking and CSV imports are primary workflows.
- Recommended order: accounts, recurring transactions, create or clone a month, then review and adjust as the month unfolds.
- Credit card planning supports both the card account being paid down and the account making the payment.
- Backup and restore use versioned JSON files, import previews, and optional encryption.
