Buckets

Buckets is a desktop‑focused budgeting application that stores all financial data locally, keeping it private to the user’s computer. It supports envelope‑style budgeting as well as custom approaches, allowing users to record transactions, import files, and connect to banks through a SimpleFIN Bridge. The software includes instructional videos and multilingual interfaces, covering a wide range of languages.

The program is offered for a one‑time purchase of $64, with a free trial that can be used indefinitely. A single license may be applied to multiple devices within a household, covering macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android platforms. There are no recurring subscription fees, and the app does not require cloud storage for financial information.

Targeted at individuals and families who want a self‑hosted, privacy‑centric budgeting solution, Buckets provides a stable, mature tool for tracking expenses, planning budgets, and managing shared finances without ongoing costs.
