Features

Firefly III is pretty feature packed. Some important stuff first:

• It is completely self-hosted and isolated, and will never contact external servers until you explicitly tell it to.
• It features a REST JSON API that covers almost every part of Firefly III.
• There are many translations available.
• All pages feature help texts and support popups.

The most exciting features are:
