PRIVATE FINANCE INFRASTRUCTURE
Friday
Mailroom
A private, local-first intake system for one household’s financial records.
Friday Mailroom reads transaction-alert emails from a dedicated Gmail inbox, validates known senders and formats, and turns recognized alerts into structured entries in a private finance ledger.

What the app does
The mailbox is used as a controlled drop point for financial alert emails. Friday Mailroom checks each new message, recognizes supported alerts, extracts details such as date, merchant, amount, currency, and account, then applies deterministic safety rules before anything reaches the ledger.
It does not provide public sign-up, send marketing, or offer access to the mailbox. The informational pages on this website do not receive or process Gmail data.
Data safeguardsBUILT IN
Narrow access. Local custody.
Local processing
Message classification and transaction extraction run on an owner-controlled computer.
Human guardrails
Unusual or ambiguous transactions are held for review instead of being silently posted.
Auditable records
Every accepted source and ledger change is recorded in a tamper-evident local journal.
