Your ledger stays on this device.
Manual accounts, transactions, import, budgets, goals, review, and encrypted backup remain useful without a connected account.

Know where your money is. Know why.
Garden is a local-first personal finance system built around an inspectable ledger. Desktop holds the complete workspace. Mobile keeps the daily work focused. The product does not compress one into the other.
01 · Garden Workbench
The full financial workspace.
A wide-screen system for position, transactions, planning, accounts, insight, review, import, and privacy controls. Details appear in context and recorded facts stay separate from projections.
One place to inspect the whole ledger.
Choose a current state. The interface preserves spatial continuity as the task changes.

02 · Daily Garden
Glance. Capture. Confirm. Leave.
The phone is a daily instrument, not a pocket-sized administration panel. One or two screens stay readable while the state changes.
Swipe the device or use the controls. Autoplay pauses off-screen.
03 · Import
Preview the ledger before it becomes yours.
CSV and PDF statements are read into a proposed ledger. Format, mapping, rows, warnings, and duplicates remain visible before commit.

The trust surface is part of the product.
