My Budget
My-budget is a cross-platform desktop application designed for personal finance management. It functions as a local-first budgeting tool that allows users to track income and expenses while maintaining complete control over their financial data without relying on cloud services.
The application distinguishes itself by integrating automated transaction ingestion, which retrieves and parses financial records directly from banking websites. To ensure privacy, all stored transaction history and budget records are protected by local encryption using user-defined passphrases, keeping sensitive information secure on the user's device.
The software provides a comprehensive suite of tools for managing financial data, including the ability to export transaction history into standard file formats for external analysis. Built as a native desktop program, it utilizes a consistent interface across multiple operating systems to facilitate offline financial tracking and reporting.
