About

Last updated 1 November 2026

Caltash started with a simple problem: keeping track of our own family's money. Spreadsheets got messy, and most apps were either too basic for real budgeting or too complicated for everyday use. So I built my own.

Along the way, it grew. People running a small business or freelancing need the same clarity at work as at home, so Caltash now has two modes in one account:

• Personal: track income, spending and budgets with simple categories and quick entry.
• Business: real double-entry bookkeeping, with a chart of accounts, journal entries, month-end closing, and financial statements such as the trial balance, profit and loss, and balance sheet.

Who's behind it

Caltash is built and run by an independent developer. There's no big company behind it, which means you get a direct line to the person who builds the product. Every support email is read and answered by me.

What I care about

• Your data stays yours. No ads, and no selling of data. You can export your data or delete your account at any time.
• Security first. Passwords are stored with strong hashing, two-factor sign-in is available, and encrypted backups are taken every day. The details are on the Security page.
• Honest pricing. There's a free plan, and every new workspace gets a 14-day trial with no card required.
