A local-first AI finance workspace for solopreneurs.
XplorOne helps freelancers, one-person businesses, consultants, indie makers, and small studios understand income, expenses, cash flow, budgets, accounts, and financial patterns — without starting from a cloud-first workflow.
Current status: Windows release available · Core local bookkeeping, reports, and basic queries work without an API key · BYOK: core local workflows work without an API key; AI Assistant features require a user-configured model API key · Write actions require confirmation · Local API and MCP integrations are token-protected local access paths · This repository is the public product hub for releases, documentation, and community feedback, not a full open-source code landing page.

Current public release: v0.4.1 for Windows.

-
Your books stay on your computer by default
XplorOne is built around a local-first workflow, so your financial data does not begin as “just another cloud database”. -
Local Assistant and AI Assistant serve different finance workflows Local Assistant helps with local query and entry workflows. AI Assistant helps with deeper analysis and broader finance-related conversations.
-
Built for one-person businesses and small studios, not enterprise finance teams
XplorOne is designed for people running their own work and financial workflow, not for large multi-team accounting operations. -
Clear boundaries are part of the product
Supported local query flows do not silently fall back to AI guessing, and write actions always require confirmation.
-
Manage multiple books, accounts, categories, budgets, and transactions
Build a financial structure that is easier to review than a flat list of records. -
Use Local Assistant and AI Assistant for finance workflows Use Local Assistant for local queries and entry workflows, and AI Assistant for model-assisted analysis and broader finance-related conversation.
-
Review cash flow, income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and charts
Understand trends, category structure, account states, and broader financial patterns. -
Back up, restore, export, archive, and import your data
Keep your workflow portable, recoverable, and under your control over time. -
Connect external agents through a token-protected local read-only MCP/query path
XplorOne includes a local read-only access path for AI-native workflows. MCP access goes through XplorOne’s controlled local API and query layers rather than reading the database directly.
XplorOne is designed around a local-first desktop workflow.
-
Local app data by default
Runtime data is stored in the user’s local application data environment, including the main ledger database and configuration metadata. -
Separate credential types
Model API keys are used for AI-assisted features. Local API and MCP tokens are used for local integrations. -
Protected local credentials
Model API keys and MCP client tokens are treated as protected local credentials and stored through ElectronsafeStorageor an equivalent system-protected storage mechanism. -
Token-protected local access
Local API and MCP access are protected by bearer tokens and are intended for local loopback integration. -
Read-only MCP access
The current MCP path is read-only and goes through XplorOne’s local API and query layers rather than direct database access.
XplorOne remains usable as a local-first finance workspace even without an API key. The API key only unlocks AI-assisted capabilities on top of the core local workflow.
XplorOne separates assistant workflows:
- Local Assistant helps with supported local query and entry workflows.
- AI Assistant helps with deeper analysis and broader finance-related conversations.
But:
- write actions require user confirmation
- nothing is written automatically
This means XplorOne is not “upload everything to the cloud and let the model mutate your books”. It is designed to keep local workflows local where supported, use model assistance only where appropriate, and preserve explicit write boundaries.
