The desktop edition
The same budget as a native app: it opens in a second, works with no internet at all, and keeps one plain file wherever you put it. Free, like the rest of it.
What you get
· A native app for Windows and Linux — no browser, no tab to lose.
· Your budget as a plain JSON file on your own disk, in a folder you choose.
· The same file the browser edition reads and writes, so you can move between the two.
· Every later version, for as long as there are any.
Downloads
There is no macOS download yet: publishing one needs a Mac in the release path. The code is cross-platform and builds on macOS from source, and a download will appear here when there is a machine to make it on.
One budget, two editions
The desktop app and the browser app read and write the same file. Export from one, import into the other, and nothing is lost on the way — no conversion, no account to connect them, no cloud in between.

Everything here is free, and that is completely fine. It costs us nothing beyond being on our server, so it costs you nothing.
Want to chip in anyway? It goes straight to keeping these tools free for everyone. Pick an amount, or write your own.
