Asset Track

简体中文

Import your bills once a month. Understand where your money went, what changed in your assets, and whether the picture is complete.

Asset Track is a private, local personal finance tool for monthly settlement. It turns bills exported from payment platforms into one organized financial record, then helps you review spending, assets, loans, investments, and data gaps.

You do not need to record every purchase as it happens. Asset Track is built for a short, focused monthly review: import what already exists, resolve the few things that need your judgment, check the result, and move on.

Why Asset Track

• Once a month: replace continuous manual entry with a focused monthly routine.
• One financial record: different bill formats are organized into one local SQLite source of truth.
• Checkable results: asset changes and transaction data help reveal missing or inconsistent records.
• Completely private: no account, no network requests, no telemetry, and no cloud classification.

The guiding idea is simple: the system handles repetitive organization; you keep the final say.

Who it is for

Asset Track is a good fit if you:

• mostly pay through services such as WeChat, Alipay, or bank cards;
• do not want to maintain a daily bookkeeping habit;
• are willing to spend a little time organizing bills once a month;
• care about private ownership of financial data;
• want to understand asset changes, not only see spending charts.

What it covers

• CSV, XLSX, and XLS bill import with reusable field mappings;
• monthly transactions, accounts, loans, investments, and fixed assets;
• category and product rules for repeated cleanup;
• conflict and missing-category review;
• monthly and annual spending and asset analysis;
• reconciliation between transactions and asset changes;
• local backup, restore, and data-directory migration.

Installation

1. Install Asset Track from Settings → Community plugins → Browse.

If the community directory is unavailable, download only main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the same GitHub Release and place them in <Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/asset-track/.

Getting started

1. Open Settings → Asset Track and choose a dedicated folder inside the current vault.
2. Create a new database in an empty folder, or load an existing one.
3. Open the editor from the command palette or ribbon.
4. Import this month’s bills, review the exceptions, update month-end assets, and save the month.

Data and privacy

Your financial data stays in the folder you choose inside your vault. Asset Track does not require an account, upload bills, contact a server, or track financial behavior. Backups and restores are initiated by you, and disabling or uninstalling the plugin does not delete your database or backups.

• Desktop Obsidian only: macOS, Windows, and Linux.
• Version 1.6.0 requires Obsidian 1.13.0 or later. Update to the latest available 1.13.x desktop release before installing or updating.
