Do you know exactly where your money goes each month? Do you have your debts, warranties and savings goals under control? If the answer is no, HomeManager is exactly what you need. A free Windows desktop application that puts your household finances in order — no subscriptions, no cloud, no ads.
Everything on your device. Everything under your control.
What is HomeManager?
HomeManager is a free Windows desktop application developed in Spain with a clear goal: to give any family complete control over their finances without paying a monthly subscription or trusting their data to cloud services.
Unlike banking apps or online managers, HomeManager stores all your data on your own computer. You decide where it is stored, who has access and how long you keep it.
It is available in four languages (Spanish, English, French and German) and supports three different database engines, making it suitable for personal use as well as for a multi-member family.
What can you do with HomeManager?
💰 Full control of your accounts and transactions
HomeManager lets you register all your bank accounts: current accounts, savings accounts, credit cards, cash and even cryptocurrency. For each account you can record all your income and expense transactions, assign them to customisable categories and track your balance in real time.
📊 Monthly budgets with visual alerts
How many times have you reached the end of the month without understanding where your money went? With HomeManager you can create monthly, quarterly or annual budgets by category. The app alerts you visually when you are approaching your limit and shows you at all times how much you have spent versus what you planned.
🎯 Savings goals linked to your transactions
Want to save for a holiday, a new car or an emergency fund? HomeManager lets you create savings goals with financial targets and link your transactions directly to each goal. The app automatically calculates how much you have saved and how much you need to set aside each day to reach your target on time.
💳 Debt and mortgage tracking
Mortgages, personal loans, informal debts, instalment credit cards… HomeManager centralises all your debts in one place. You can record each payment, mark completed instalments and see in real time how much remains. The app alerts you when a payment date is approaching so you never miss an instalment.
🛡️ Warranty register with expiry alerts
Do you know when your fridge warranty expires? Or your phone? HomeManager includes a warranty module where you can register all your appliances and devices. The app automatically alerts you when a warranty is about to expire so you can act in time.
📈 Reports and CSV export
HomeManager generates detailed financial reports: monthly income and expense summaries, category analysis, budget execution comparisons and debt and warranty status. All reports can be exported in CSV format to open in Excel or any spreadsheet application.
Designed for the whole family
HomeManager is a multi-user application. You can create multiple profiles with different access levels:
- Administrator — full access to all features
- Adult — can manage their own transactions and budgets
- Minor — restricted access, ideal for teaching children to manage money
You can also create independent scopes: one for shared family finances, another for each member’s personal expenses and another specifically for the youngest members of the household.
Your data is yours: no cloud, no subscriptions
This is the key difference between HomeManager and other personal finance apps. None of your data leaves your computer. There are no external servers, no third-party accounts to create and no personalised advertising based on your spending habits.
HomeManager stores all data in a local database on your own device. You can choose from three engines:
- SQLite — local file, perfect for individual or family use on a single device
- MariaDB/MySQL — ideal if you want to share data between multiple family computers on a local network
- SQL Server — for more advanced or business environments
