OpenBudgeteer
Allocating every incoming dollar into purposeful spending and savings buckets before transactions occur, OpenBudgeteer gives households complete financial control through a self-hosted zero-based envelope budgeting platform. Users can organize expenditures into customizable bucket hierarchies, grouping everyday living costs, debt repayments, and sinking funds into distinct categories with target balances. Financial planners can import bank statement files via flexible CSV mapping profiles that parse transaction descriptions, clean up merchant strings, and auto-assign records to corresponding expense buckets. The transaction registry provides split-transaction functionality, allowing shoppers to divide a single department store receipt across grocery, household, and clothing envelopes with exact currency precision. Interactive progress bars display bucket health throughout the billing month, signaling when spending velocity threatens allocated limits and calculating suggested contributions for forthcoming paychecks. Advanced forecasting reports plot multi-month net worth trajectories, track category expenditure patterns, and calculate burn rates against long-term retirement and emergency savings goals. Account balances synchronize across multiple physical checking accounts, credit cards, and cash wallets, ensuring total bucket balances reconcile perfectly against real bank reserves. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL v3 licensed.
