Aurelio is a local-first financial planning app that tracks your accounts, portfolios, debts, and cash flow in a single SQLite database. It requires Node.js 22 and uv, runs locally via shell scripts, and stores records in backend/data.db. The optional AI advisor connects through OpenRouter using your own API key to answer questions and propose data changes.
It is worth a look if you want complete control over your financial data without SaaS subscriptions or cloud lock-in. The catch is the setup friction and the fact that AI-driven features like portfolio analysis cost real money per query and require manual validation. Skip it if you just want a hands-off spreadsheet or a plug-and-play bank aggregator.
