Abstract	Personal finance management has become an integral component of modern digital lifestyles; however, a significant number of existing expense tracking applications rely heavily on continuous internet connectivity, cloud-based storage, and subscription-driven service models. While such solutions offer accessibility and synchronization, they often raise concerns related to data privacy, recurring costs, performance latency, and limited usability in low-connectivity or offline environments. For users handling substantial financial records or those seeking complete ownership and control over their data, cloud-dependent systems can be restrictive and inefficient (Patel, 2018; IJRTI, 2023). To address these limitations, this research proposes a standalone, offline-capable desktop application titled Smart Personal Expense Tracker with Interactive QML Dashboard. The application is developed using Python with the PySide6 framework, employs Qt Quick (QML) to provide a visually dynamic and responsive user interface, and utilizes MySQL for secure and persistent local data storage. This architecture enables users to record, manage, and analyse financial transactions without reliance on internet connectivity or external cloud services (Garcia, 2019; DataCamp, 2024–2025). The system supports essential functionalities such as Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations, customizable expense categories, and real-time interactive dashboards for visualizing spending patterns and income trends. Performance evaluations and user testing demonstrate consistent responsiveness, data integrity, and enhanced usability, even with moderate to large datasets, emphasizing privacy, reliability, and offline efficiency (Experion Technologies, 2024; IJNRD, 2024).
