About Actual Budget
Actual Budget is a local-first personal finance tool. It is open source, written in NodeJS, and includes a synchronization element so your changes can move between devices without heavy lifting.
The app is built around envelope budgeting, and the community documentation includes guides for starting fresh and for migrating from other budgeting apps. Local-only desktop apps are available for Windows, Mac and Linux, so you can run it entirely on your own device.
