Documentation
Full READMEEkwo OS
Ekwo is open source accounting, ready to use on [Ekwo Cloud](https://cloud.ekwo.ai): the web application for your invoices, your bank statements, your VAT returns and the electronic invoices your country uses, in your own instance, with an account opened in a minute. Ekwo OS is the free and open source core it runs on, under AGPL-3.0: install it on your own Supabase project and own your accounting data, forever.
Built and maintained by Ekwo. Ekwo OS is a schema, the rules of each country as data, and the tools — a command line and an MCP server — with which you, your accountant and the AI agent you choose work in the same books, each with their own access. Ekwo reads any supplier invoice, in any language, with the AI model you choose, and every entry is posted on your confirmation. What Ekwo is, and its limits: DISCLAIMER.md.
*From an empty Supabase project to a prepared VAT return, for two countries side by side. How it was recorded: `docs/demo/`.*
Try it on your own books. Already using Claude? Start with Claude goes from a free Supabase project to your own books taken over, questioned and your next VAT return prepared, in about twenty minutes. Or open the same books in the web application, Ekwo Cloud.
Why Ekwo
The long version — financial autonomy for every business, accounting as a commons, a network rather than a vendor — is in MANIFESTO.md.
The data belongs to the business, and the work of keeping the books can be done by software the business also owns. So the whole accounting core is open, the data sits in a Postgres database you control, and the interface is designed for machines as much as for people. Supabase gives the schema a REST API for free, and an MCP server sits on top of it, so an AI agent can book a purchase, match a payment or prepare a VAT return on your own data — as you, under your own row level security, without the data leaving your account.
What ships today:
- The core — schema, posting rules, taxes, reports, financial statements,
as migrations you apply to a database you control.
- A country pack for every country listed below, each a versioned set of
data with a year of books that proves it.
