Applying for Medicaid long-term care? Most states review 5 years of a parent's finances. LookBack Ready is a private desktop app (Windows and Mac) that shows every missing bank statement month by month, imports bank download files, flags cash, checks, transfers and payments to family, and helps you explain each one with its proof. Prints 12 reports for the caseworker or elder law attorney. Works offline: your records never leave your computer. Organizing tool, not legal advice.

Could you build this?
Partial The bank-statement importer, gap detection, and transaction flagging are buildable, but the output is only useful if it reflects each state's Medicaid look-back rules and transfer-penalty logic, which need legal expertise.
What it would actually take: The stack is a local-first desktop app (Electron or Tauri) with parsers for common bank export formats (OFX, QFX, CSV, PDF) and a rules engine that flags cash withdrawals, checks, and family transfers. The hard part is encoding accurate, state-specific Medicaid asset and look-back rules that are updated over time, which requires elder law review. Bank-format parser coverage also needs real test data and ongoing maintenance.
