About FinancialDataTools.com

FinancialDataTools.com is a growing library of free, browser-based tools designed to help financial professionals, developers, and data enthusiasts open, view, and analyze financial data files without installing software or trusting third-party servers with sensitive information.

Our Mission

Financial data comes in many formats — SQLite databases, CSV exports, proprietary file types. Getting at that data has traditionally required expensive desktop software, programming skills, or uploading files to cloud services that may not adequately protect your data.

We believe that should change. Every tool on FinancialDataTools.com runs entirely in your browser using modern web technologies like WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.

What We Build

Our current focus is Viewers — tools for opening and inspecting financial database files — starting with the SQLite Viewer. We are actively building out additional silos including converters, validators, and financial database tools.

Privacy by Design

Every tool on this site is built with privacy as a non-negotiable constraint. We do not ask for accounts, we do not store your files, and we do not have upload infrastructure. The tools run in your browser and process your data in memory only.

Founder & Author — FinancialDataTools.com

Our team has backgrounds in quantitative finance, full-stack web development, and open-source tooling. We have spent years working with financial databases, market data pipelines, and brokerage APIs — and we built the tools we wished existed when we needed them.

Every tool we publish is reviewed for correctness, tested against real-world financial data files, and built to a standard we would use ourselves for sensitive financial work. Our privacy-first architecture is not a marketing claim; it is a technical constraint we impose on every tool we build.
