About
Actual Budget is a fast, privacy-focused finance app based on the Envelope Budgeting method. It prioritizes user control, allowing you to manage your data independently with multi-device sync and optional end-to-end encryption. The app emphasizes user involvement over automation, offering quick, intuitive tools while keeping you in charge of your financial decisions.
Designed for speed, Actual Budget has a streamlined interface that minimizes distractions, making it easy to navigate your finances. It operates locally, ensuring functionality without a network connection while syncing data across devices. This local-first approach also enhances privacy through end-to-end encryption.
The budgeting system is grounded in real income, helping you track spending and savings accurately. The app simplifies managing transactions with a minimal, efficient interface, supporting features like split transactions and transfers. Additionally, Actual Budget offers customizable reports alongside default net worth and cash flow reports, enabling users to analyze your finances in a way that suits you.
