What Capehelm helps you answer

Five questions. One clear financial picture.

Start with the decision you need to make—not a list of software features.

See spending across transactions, categories and merchants. Understand what changed over time, then correct or organize the details behind it.

How Capehelm Works

No bank connection required. Import your statements, review them locally, and Capehelm turns your Finance Document into a clearer view of where your money has been—and where it is heading.

  1. 01

    Import your statements

    Download a supported CSV statement from your financial institution and choose it in Capehelm. Built-in formats are recognized where available, and other usable CSVs can be mapped with the custom import workflow.

    You choose what enters Capehelm. Your financial data stays local in your Finance Document—there's no automatic bank connection or finance-data upload.

    Learn about importing statements
  2. 02

    Review and organize

    Preview the import, confirm Categories, and review anything that needs attention. Capehelm saves reusable merchant rules locally in your Finance Document to keep future imports consistent.

    Your Categories and merchant rules stay local and are applied predictably—nothing is sent away to learn from your data.

  3. 03

    See the bigger picture

    Once your Finance Document is set up, Capehelm turns your imported history into a connected view of your finances.

Local-first by design

Your finances don't belong on our servers.

Capehelm is deliberately different from hosted personal-finance services: your financial picture is built from local Finance Documents and files you control.

01

Your transaction data stays local.

Capehelm works with local Finance Documents instead of storing your financial life in a Capehelm-hosted account.

02

No online banking credentials.

Import supported statement and CSV files you select instead of giving Capehelm your online-banking username or password.

03

No finance-data advertising profile.

Capehelm is a paid product, not an advertising platform. Your transaction history is not used to build an advertising profile.

04

You control your files.

Your Finance Document, backups, reports and exports remain local or in storage locations you choose and control.

Capehelm does not upload your transaction data or Finance Document contents to Capehelm servers and does not use finance-data telemetry.

Apple handles subscription commerce. StoreKit is used for product, offer, purchase, entitlement and restore operations—not your personal finance content.
