Common questions

Is Spendlog safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.4) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Spendlog

Cost & expense tracking for solo entrepreneurs, right inside Claude Code. No apps. No spreadsheets. No account.

Track what your business spends, manage budgets, write invoices — all in natural language. Your data stays 100% local in SQLite. Nothing leaves your machine.

Works with

Claude Code | Claude Desktop | VS Code | Cursor

Quick Start

npx spendlog

Or one-click install:

The installer auto-configures Claude Desktop and Claude Code. Restart Claude, then try:

"Track 50€ for hosting"

That's it. Requires Node.js 20+.

Why Spendlog?

Zero context-switching — log costs while you build, right where you already work
Local-first — all data in ~/.spendlog/spendlog.db, no account, no cloud
Natural language — no forms, no menus, just tell Claude what you spent
38 tools — invoicing, budgets, recurring expenses, CSV export, multi-project tracking
Multilingual — English and German (EN/DE), with i18n ready for more

Examples

Tracking:

You: "29€ for ChatGPT subscription"

Claude: Expense saved: 29.00 € — Category: IT & Software

You: "Export 2025 for my accountant" Claude: 247 transactions written to ~/spendlog-export-2025.csv

Invoices:

You: "Create invoice for TechCorp, web development, 8h at 95€/h"

Claude: Invoice #2026-004 created — 760.00 €

You: "Mark it as paid" Claude: Invoice #2026-004 marked as paid, income recorded.

Analysis:

You: "How much did I spend on software this quarter?"

Claude: IT & Software: 287.00 € (12 transactions) — 23% of total expenses

You: "Compare January vs February" Claude: Expenses up 15%. Biggest increase: Marketing (+120€)
