Does the tedious part

Smart Where It Saves You Time. Yours Where It Matters.

Lightning does the matching and the maths. You confirm, so nothing changes behind your back.

Bills Find Their Payments

Pay the landlord 12,000 and the bill due on the 3rd is settled. An early or different amount is suggested, never assumed.

Repeats Are Spotted for You

Six months of history show what comes back every month. One click turns it into a tracked bill.

One Balance Checks an Account

Type what your bank shows. A small gap becomes one adjustment; a big one is reviewed row by row.

Imports Ask Once per Name

43 statement rows, 17 questions. Every Talabat order is sorted with one answer.

Found in Mohab’s last six months. Track the ones that matter.

How it works

Thirty Minutes. Once a Month.

Upload, check, then sit down with your numbers.

  1. Upload Your Statements

    Download a CSV from your bank or wallet and drop it in.

  2. Make Small Adjustments

    Rows are grouped by name, so you answer once per name. Nothing is saved until you say so.

  3. Sit Down for Analysis

    Five screens answer five questions. End with one change for next month.

Private by design

Your Money. Your Data.

No bank logins and no cloud account. Your numbers stay on your computer.

It Stays with You

Lightning runs on your computer, not on someone else’s server.

Locked with Your Password

Each profile is encrypted and opens only with your password.

You Confirm Every Import

Statement rows wait for your review. Nothing is saved until you say so.

No Mystery Numbers

Every key number shows what it is made of, and estimates say so.

Good questions

Questions, Answered

What Lightning does today, and what it doesn’t yet.

Can I try it today?

Yes, with sample data. Current Status has the Windows beta and Mohab’s sample files. Please don’t import a real bank statement yet.

Which computers does it run on?

Windows. The beta is a ZIP: unzip it and open Lightning. Other systems come later.

Is there a phone app?

Not yet. Add spending as you go on your computer, or import your bank’s CSV at the end of the month.

Does it connect to my bank?

No. Lightning never asks for bank logins. Download a CSV from any bank or wallet, match its columns once, and review every row before it’s saved.

What goes online?

Your data stays in an encrypted profile on your computer. The only thing Lightning looks up online is the latest price of listed shares, by ticker symbol.

Who is building Lightning, and why?

Someone from finance in Egypt who has logged every pound since graduating, and wanted the full picture without hours in Excel. Read what we believe.
