Everything you own and owe

Your Money Is in Six Places. Lightning Counts It as One.

Mohab keeps money in a bank, a wallet, cash at home, a certificate, THNDR and gold. Lightning adds it up in EGP, and leaves out what isn’t his.

Good questions

Questions, Answered

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

Is Lightning ready to use?

Yes. It’s a beta, and it works with your real numbers today: import your statements, add your balances and use every screen. You may meet a rough edge; the release log lists what’s still open.

How do I start?

Download the Windows beta from Current Status, unzip it and open Lightning. Mohab’s sample year is there too, if you’d like to learn the steps before adding your own.

What will it cost?

Nothing to start, and nothing is ever locked. After seven days, Lightning asks now and then for a one-time payment. Pay when it’s worth it to you, and you own it forever.

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. We’re building one that syncs straight to your computer, with no server in between. Until then, add spending 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. How importing a statement works.

What goes online?

Your money data never does. It 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. Where your data lives.
