Hi all, sharing a plugin I built for tracking personal finances inside Obsidian.

Tare Money is a plain-text accounting (PTA) plugin. Transactions live as plain markdown files in your vault — no cloud, no account, no subscription. Add them through a form, see balances and
income/expenses in built-in views, and sync however you already sync your vault.

Highlights

  • Form-based entry, double-entry validation (zero-sum)
  • Balances and Income & Expenses views
  • Multi-currency with explicit conversion
  • Hashtag categorization, date range and text filters
  • Works on desktop, iOS, and Android

Install from Community plugins (search “Tare Money”) or via the directory link above.
