Runway
A local-first personal finance command center for macOS.
Apple Silicon & Intel, universal build. Windows and Linux aren't published yet.
Runway answers one question from every angle: how long does your money last, and what can you safely do with it? No cloud, no login, no bank connections, no AI, no telemetry — everything runs on your Mac, and deleting the app never touches your data.
