See the numbers behind your next decision.

Bring income, expenses, and cash information into a working view of your business. Track changes, investigate costs, and prepare questions for a more informed financial review.

Why you need this: Without it, your income, expenses and cash sit in separate places, and every question to your AI means pasting numbers in again. Here the records you keep are the ones your AI reads, and by default what it proposes waits for your approval.

Bring the records together.

Your numbers are probably spread across statements, payment tools and spreadsheets. Add income and expenses, import supported statement files, or use available payment-data connections. Check imported information against its source before relying on the totals.

Understand the recorded trend.

One month’s figure rarely tells you whether things are getting better or worse. Review revenue, spending, and cash figures over time. Where the necessary information is available, use burn and runway estimates to explore the current position.

Estimates depend on the completeness of your records and their assumptions. They are not a forecast of guaranteed future results.

Investigate potential savings.

Costs creep up quietly, and nobody has time to read every line. Ask your AI to examine the information you provide for possible duplication, changing costs, or spending worth reviewing. Inspect each recommendation before changing a subscription or business commitment.

Review financial changes carefully.

A wrong number that slips into your records is hard to spot later. Check proposed updates against the original records. Keep a history of approved changes so you can trace how the working view developed.

Try asking

Review this month’s recorded expenses against last month. Explain the largest changes and list the source records and questions I should check.

Questions

Does Alacrán pay bills or move money?

The finance workflow described here organizes information and prepares analysis. It does not execute payments.

Is this my accounting system?

Use it as an operational view alongside your official books and professional advice. Confirm accounting requirements and source figures in your established process.

Can I connect Stripe or another finance service?

Use the available Stripe connection to synchronize supported payment data. Other finance connections have their own setup and supported scope; check the connection details before relying on a report.

Why are figures missing or outdated?

The view depends on recorded or synchronized information. Check update times, connection status, and missing inputs before interpreting a chart.

Create your company workspace, connect your AI, and prepare your first result for review.

Your download has started. One more step on a Mac.

Apple has not notarized Alacrán, because that needs a paid Apple Developer account. Until you do this once, macOS may block the app, often with the message "Alacrán is damaged and can't be opened". It is not damaged.

  1. Install. Open the downloaded .dmg and drag Alacrán into Applications.
  2. Run this in Terminal, once. It clears the quarantine flag macOS puts on downloaded files. Use it only on the app you downloaded from this site or the official releases page.
    xattr -cr "/Applications/Alacran.app"
  3. Open Alacrán from Applications.

You only need this for the first install. Updates inside the app do not need it. Prefer to read more? Read the setup guide.
