Actual Budget
Tap a star to rate
Actual Budget puts privacy first by letting you host your data on your own server. It uses the envelope budgeting method, where you allocate money to specific categories before you spend it. The app works offline and syncs across your devices when you're online, so you're never locked into their cloud.
This tool appeals to users who value privacy, technical users comfortable with self-hosting, and those who prefer the envelope method over subscription tracking. It's more hands-on than automated aggregation tools, but that control is the draw for people managing their own infrastructure.
