About

Buddi is a free budgeting program designed for people with little or no financial background. Users can create accounts and categories, enter transactions, and review their spending habits. The project wiki shows a main budget window and reports that include a net worth graph and income pie graph. Buddi runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and is licensed under GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2). Its listed languages include Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, and Swedish. A separate plugins project lists CSV and QIF import and export plugins. Older .buddi files require the Import Legacy Buddi Data plugin because the default format is .buddi3. The latest listed version is Buddi-3.4.1.14, and its stable files are dated 2019-04-03. The project also describes Buddi Live as an online option accessible on mobile devices, while noting phones are difficult to use and tablets work better.

Who it is for

Buddi suits desktop users who want a free way to organize accounts, categorize transactions, and review budgets. It may also fit users comfortable with GPLv2 software and, where needed, plugins for legacy data or CSV and QIF exchange.
