That's pretty much it. Can confirm, as I am Ryan Sipes. We (Thunderbird) are still 99.9% donation supported, so every bit helps.

Longtime Hackernews lurker, first time posting a project of my own here. I'm big into privacy, I am the Community Manager for Mozilla Thunderbird and before that I made the open source personal assistant Mycroft AI and worked at Linux computer seller System76.
When I went to use a personal finance app to aggregate my financial data (bank accounts, investment accounts, loans, etc) into one place - I just didn't feel comfortable with my data just sitting on someones server, especially when many of the apps I tried were startups with which I had little trust.
So I made Glance Money, it end-to-end encrypts your financial data on your device with a key generated there. It's also just awesome and allows you to quickly manage your finances "at a Glance". You can see balances, a transaction list, you can edit transactions, and even swipe through them via cards (Tinder style) via what I call the "Review Screen".
Yes, it uses Plaid to get your data, which means they have access to your data. Currently I don't have a way around that. Fortunately, they don't sell your data - but I have yet to solve for this piece of the equation.
What do you think HN? It's still very early days but would love for folks to try it and share what they think.

The non-profit Mozilla Foundation had many rules about what we could and could not do. The new Corp gives us more freedom, legally.
