SELF-HOSTED PERSONAL FINANCE
Syllogic is a self-hosted personal finance dashboard with AI categorization, recurring spend tracking, CSV import and export, and a live demo. It is built for self-hosters who want a real app, not a spreadsheet template and not a black-box hosted product.
WHO IT IS FOR
01
You want a self-hosted dashboard for balances, spending, recurring charges, and trends.
02
You care about privacy and do not want your transaction data trapped in a hosted finance app.
03
You want Docker-first deployment, but still want a fallback path through Railway.
HOW TO RUN IT
LIVE DEMO
See the dashboard, recurring spend tracking, and transaction workflows without deploying first.
DOCKER
Run the full stack on your own machine or homelab with the install script or Docker Compose docs.
RAILWAY
Use the one-click template when you want the fastest route to a working hosted environment.
