What is QashBoard?
Qashboard is a financial management tool that aggregates your bank accounts, investment portfolios, credit cards, and brokerage accounts into one place. It connects to your financial institutions via Plaid, then displays your transactions and account balances through charts and an Explorer interface. The tool analyses your spending patterns, flags recurring payments, and alerts you to unexpected charges so you can spot where your money goes. A notable feature is the option to supply your own database, which means you can keep your financial data on your own servers if you prefer not to rely on Qashboard's hosted storage. It's designed for people who want visibility across multiple accounts without manually tracking finances in spreadsheets.
