What Syllogic is
Syllogic is an open-source, self-hosted personal finance dashboard. Its point is to give you control over your financial data instead of locking it inside a hosted budget app. You can see balances and cash flow in real time, use optional AI classification for transactions, track recurring subscriptions grouped by merchant, compare spending by category over time, link transfers to avoid double counting, and import and export bank CSV files so you are never locked in. It can also connect Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible model to your data so you can ask questions in natural language. It runs under the AGPL 3.0 license, which means it is free, and you can self-host with Docker, on a VPS, on Railway, or in a home lab.
What you can do with it
- Track balances, savings, expenses, and cash flow in real time
- Classify transactions with optional AI or rule-based backup
- Group recurring subscriptions by merchant to spot waste
- Import and export bank CSV data and query it through MCP
Who it is for
- Self-hosted users who want a real dashboard instead of a spreadsheet
- Privacy-conscious developers avoiding hosted SaaS lock-in
- Home lab users who want several deployment paths
- Small business owners who need accurate, self-controlled books
What to watch out for
Self-hosting takes real setup and ongoing maintenance, and you are responsible for your own data security and backups, so a mistake or a lost server can cost you your records. The AI classification is optional and may need an API key, with rule-based matching as a fallback, so plan for manual cleanup at first and check categories for accuracy. It is free under the AGPL 3.0 license now, but open-source project terms can evolve, so check the current license and release before you depend on it. Test with a small data set before moving your full financial history over.
