RANN Roost

Your household's finances, on your own computer

RANN's Roost keeps a Canadian household's complete finances in one place: private, encrypted, and in English and French, for every province and territory.

Private by design

Your data is encrypted with AES-256 and stays on your computer. There is no RANN account to create, no cloud, no advertising and no analytics. Optional price downloads stay off until you turn them on.

RANN's Roost does not connect to your bank: you import the statements your bank provides. Your banking passwords never go anywhere near it.

Everything in one place

Everyday books

Bank accounts, credit cards, cash and loans, in any currency, with Bank of Canada exchange rates
Import statements (OFX, QFX, QBO, CSV) and your history from Quicken, GnuCash or Moneydance
Reconcile each statement to the cent
Bills, subscriptions, budgets and savings goals, with reminders

Investments and retirement

Adjusted cost base, capital gains, and investment income for your T3, T5, RL-3 and RL-16 slips
RRSP, TFSA, FHSA, RESP, RRIF, LIF and pensions, with contribution room and minimum withdrawals

RANN's Roost Mobile, the free companion

Photograph a receipt or bill on the spot: the phone finds the edges, straightens the page and reads the text itself. Captures wait on the phone, encrypted, and go straight to your computer over your home Wi-Fi, encrypted end to end. Nothing passes through RANN or anyone else.

The phone also shows this month's budgets, the bills coming due and the maintenance due on your home and vehicles.
