Why local-first crypto tax software protects your privacy

Your full trading history says a lot about you. Here is why keeping it on your own device is the safer default.

Most crypto tax tools upload every trade, address and balance to their servers. CryptoTax Studio works the other way: your ledger lives in your browser, and cloud backup is optional.

What you share, and with whom

When your accountant needs to see the numbers, you create a password-protected, read-only link with only the years you choose — and you can revoke it at any time.

Calculate your own numbers

Import your exports and see your gains in minutes.
