Fidra - Dashboard

Built for organisations

Everything your committee needs

From tracking society dues to planning annual events, Fidra keeps your finances transparent, searchable, and ready for handover.

Transaction ledger

Log income and expenses with categories, parties, references, and notes. Approve or reject pending items without losing audit context.

Planned payments

Set up recurring templates for rent, subscriptions, member dues, and regular income. Keep projected cash flow visible before problems arrive.

Reports and exports

Generate income-versus-expense views by period and export PDF or other reports for treasurer updates, grant paperwork, and AGMs.

Invoices

Create branded invoices with line items and due dates, then mark them paid to tie billing back into the ledger cleanly.

Activities

Group finances by event, project, or campaign so committees can see what is active, what is over budget, and what is already complete.

Undo anything

Full undo and redo across day-to-day actions. Corrections are fast, deliberate, and less stressful during busy handovers or reconciliation sessions.

Team sync

Works with your infrastructure

Choose the sync model that fits your organisation. Both keep the app local-first, and Fidra still works fully offline if you do not need sync at all.

Local Sync

Peer-to-peer via a shared folder

Uses a shared folder as a mailbox, so teams can collaborate without running a server or moving their ledger into a hosted finance platform.

No server or hosted database required
AES-256-GCM encrypted sync bundles
Optional owner and member access controls
Conflicting edits are surfaced for review

Best for: societies that need shared editing without relying on outside infrastructure.

Cloud Connect

Real-time sync via your own server

Best for organisations that can provision a Postgres database and want live sync through infrastructure they already control.

Real-time LISTEN/NOTIFY sync
Runs on your own Postgres or Supabase setup
Optional owner and member access controls
Conflicting edits are surfaced for review

Best for: clubs with technical members or access to a managed Postgres service.

Questions

Frequently asked

The short version of how Fidra is deployed, shared, and kept under control.

Yes. Fidra is free for organisations. There are no subscription fees or usage caps. Cloud Connect needs a Postgres database you control, while Local Sync only needs a shared folder.

No. Fidra works as a standalone desktop app first. If you want shared editing, Local Sync avoids a dedicated server entirely, and Cloud Connect is there if you already have a database setup you trust.

The operational copy lives in a local SQLite database on each machine. Shared data is synced from there, and Local Sync bundles are encrypted before they leave the device.

Yes. Shared workflows are supported through the sync backends, and critical-field conflicts are surfaced for review instead of being silently overwritten.

Fidra is available for macOS and Windows from the same Electron codebase, so the experience stays consistent across platforms.
