About $IT

I created $IT for my own use after finding most personal budgeting and expense tracking software either too expensive or unnecessarily complex. After refining it over time, I decided to make it available—for free—to anyone looking for a simple, effective solution.

$IT is completely free to use, with no license fees and no subscriptions. Donations are welcomed.

Developed over more than two years, $IT was built with substantial help from Microsoft’s AI Copilot to ensure stability and ease of use. It’s a Microsoft Access-based desktop application, which means it runs entirely on your personal computer—no online accounts or data breaches to worry about.

Don’t have Microsoft Access installed?
No problem! You can download the free Microsoft Access Runtime directly from Microsoft. Most users will need the English 64-bit version. Click here to download Microsoft Access Runtime.

Once you’ve installed Microsoft Access (or the runtime), just send an email to Support requesting your free copy of $IT.
