Home Information Hub, abbreviated as HIH, is a personal and family information platform designed to manage and track all aspects of daily life. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for financial management, event planning, library organization, and personal blogging.
A complete personal/family finance system that tracks all financial activities:
- Document Management — Create and manage various types of financial documents including income/expense records, transfers, currency exchanges, asset buy/sell transactions, loans, repayments, down payments, and asset value changes. Supports mass creation for batch entry.
- Account Management — Track multiple accounts across categories (cash, deposit, investment, loan, receivable/payable). Supports account reconciliation and settlement.
- Reports & Analytics — Visualize financial data with interactive charts (powered by ECharts), including account reports, cash journals, balance reports, month-on-month comparisons, transaction type analysis, control center summaries, and order-level reporting.
- Financial Planning — Create and track financial plans and budgets.
- Orders & Control Centers — Organize transactions by activities/projects (orders) and organizational units (control centers) for better categorization.
- Recurring Documents — Automate recurring financial entries.
- Multi-currency Support — Handle transactions in different currencies with exchange rate management.
Track and manage events and activities:
- Normal Events — One-time events with full detail tracking.
- Recurring Events — Repeating events with flexible scheduling.
- Event Overview — Calendar-style view of all events.
- Event Search — Find events across all types and time periods.
Organize and manage personal collections:

HIH is designed to run on a cloud or HTTP/HTTPS server, providing easy access from all workstations and mobile devices.
Ideally, deploy it on a cloud server, or run it on a NAS/family server with ASP.NET Core backend and HTTP server support.
A live application is hosted at alvachien.com.
