Import your statements

Open Claude Code in the same directory:

Then drop a bank statement (CSV or PDF) into the conversation:

Here's my Chase statement for January [attach file]

Claude reads the statement, categorizes every transaction, and stores it locally. Run money tui to see your dashboard.

Works with any bank — Claude figures out the format. No parser config needed.

• Claude Code is the parser. It reads any bank statement format and handles categorization.
• SQLite stores everything locally. Your financial data never leaves your machine.
• money-tui is the visualization layer. Pure Python, no dependencies beyond SQLAlchemy and Click.

Data

Everything lives in ./data/money.db. The database has:

• accounts — your bank accounts and credit cards
• transactions — every transaction, categorized
• categories — Groceries, Dining, Coffee, Shopping, etc.
• budgets — monthly spending limits
• bills — recurring bills with due dates

Built with

Claude Code — the AI does the boring part (parsing statements, categorizing transactions). You get the fun part (the dashboard).
