OpenBudgeteer is a self-hosted budgeting application based on the bucket budgeting principle.
It helps users plan where their money should go before it’s spent, rather than simply categorising transactions after the fact. The application is built with .NET and Blazor Server, and provides tools for managing accounts, creating budget buckets, assigning transactions, tracking recurring expenses, and reviewing budget history over time.
This is free and open source software.
