OwnFi is a free budgeting app that imports your bank statements instead of logging into your bank. Drop in the PDF or CSV your bank already sends you and see what you can spend today, which bills are coming, and where the money went. Nothing leaves your phone: no server, no cloud processing, no analytics on your spending, no third-party data sharing. No subscription, no trial, no account to create.
