  1. The Syncloud app page for Actual Budget, showing a purple A icon, Version: 38, the line local-first personal finance and budgeting, and an Open button

    Install Actual Budget from the Syncloud app store, the same way as every other app. This device is running version 38.

  2. Actual Budget open on a phone showing the June 26 budget, a To Budget figure of 10,000.00 with budgeted, spent and balance columns, and category groups for usual expenses, investments and savings and income

    Open it on your phone. The month, the category groups and the balances are the ones held by your own server, not by an account somewhere else.

  • You supply the hardware, a Raspberry Pi or an old PC, and write a complete server OS onto it
  • Actual Budget is one of the apps you install in one click, listed at version 38 and described as local-first personal finance and budgeting
  • Your phone opens the budget held by your own server, through an address like yourname.syncloud.it that follows your IP when it changes and needs no port forwarding
  • An HTTPS certificate, issued and renewed for you, so the phone and the server talk over a connection the phone trusts
  • Already paying monthly for budgeting software? The bill here is £5 a month, and the budget sits on a machine you own rather than somebody else's
  • Open source software on a paid service: first month free, then £5 a month, not a free tier and not a cloud account
