Deploy ExpenseOwl in one click installation.
Lightweight self-hosted expense tracker with dashboard charts, category management, and CSV import/export — no database required.
What you can build with ExpenseOwl
ExpenseOwl is a minimal self-hosted expense tracking application that stores all data in local JSON files with no external database required. It provides a clean dashboard with pie charts and cashflow summaries, a sortable expense table for reviewing entries, and a settings panel for managing categories, currency, and data import/export.
Self-hosting ExpenseOwl on your own VPS means your personal financial records never leave your infrastructure. The lightweight design deploys in seconds with no database service to maintain, making it one of the simplest ways to take full ownership of your personal finance data.
Key features of ExpenseOwl
Spending Dashboard
Pie charts and cashflow summaries give an instant visual breakdown of spending patterns across all tracked categories.
Category Management
Define and edit custom expense categories in the settings panel to match your personal or household budgeting system.
CSV Import and Export
Move data in and out of ExpenseOwl using CSV files — useful for importing history from other apps or creating portable backups.
No Database Required
All expense data is stored in local JSON files on the named volume, so there is no Postgres or MySQL service to configure or maintain.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
