What is Aurum?

Aurum is a personal finance application you run yourself via Docker Compose. It brings together bank accounts, investments, crypto holdings, real estate, and vehicles into a live net worth timeline with breakdowns by asset class, behavior type, and risk level. You can log split transactions across subcategories, import bank CSV files using built-in profiles for several banks, set monthly budgets with visual progress, track savings goals, and manage recurring bills. A rules-based advice engine highlights spending categories that are trending up, expenses without budgets, and changes in your savings rate. The crypto tab shows live prices and profit/loss from your trade history. An ROI calculator helps evaluate purchases with compound-interest projections. Proactive alerts warn about negative cash flow, declining net worth, over-budget categories, excessive risk exposure, and idle cash. The interface supports Russian and English with a theme toggle for light, dark, or system preference and works well on mobile. Access control uses optional HTTP Basic Auth — there is no built-in user system. All data stores in PostgreSQL and can be exported or imported as a single JSON file. A full REST API at /api exposes every UI action for scripting.
