## What it does

The README calls Actual a local-first personal finance tool, written in Node.js, with sync across devices. The root `package.json` is a workspace over `packages/*`, and its scripts name browser, sync-server, and Electron targets. GitHub’s primary language is TypeScript; Swift is also reported. This list files it as a local-first app and a common surface for agents. It is not itself an LLM agent.
