FireTracker

FIRE calculator with an ADHS-friendly flow: enter 3 numbers, see when you could be financially free.

FireTracker is a local-first single-user dashboard for tracking assets, FIRE progress, and simple what-if scenarios. No cloud account, no auth, no external bank connection required.

Status

MVP shipped.

17 unit tests passing for the FIRE math core.
3 Playwright E2E flows exist for setup, dashboard, and asset creation.
fi_date edge case fixed.
Historical asset charts are future scope.

What works

Setup wizard — 3 fields, then straight to the dashboard.
Dashboard — FI%, FI date, savings rate, 30-year projection, assets grouped by type.
Assets CRUD — create, edit via htmx inline update, delete.
Scenario API — “what if I save X more?” with diff_years.
CSV import — simple German bank CSV parsing with semicolon delimiter and comma decimal support.
JSON export — profile, assets, and snapshots as backup.
Settings — FIRE parameters such as SWR, return, inflation, and target retirement age.
Demo seed — sample profile with 5 assets.
