Your data is a file you control, back up, and query directly.
Download the binary and run it. Exchequer starts serving immediately with a dashboard at localhost and a REST API for automation. No cloud account, no API keys to provision, no monthly invoice. Your data lives in a SQLite file you can back up, move, or query directly.
Install Exchequer with the one-line shell script or download the binary directly from GitHub. Run it, open /ui, and start creating budgets. The SQLite database lives in a single file under the data directory. To migrate to a new server, copy the binary and the data directory. That is the entire migration procedure.
