About

Buckets Budgeting is a private, personal finance application designed for family budgeting, enabling users to track expenses, set savings goals, and manage debt from their personal computers. Active since at least 2018, it is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux, operating under a freemium proprietary license. The product's comprehensive features include robust privacy protection, bank integration, offline functionality, CSV data import, expense tracking, support for unlimited users, integrated search, financial reporting, bug reporting, Amazon integration, bank reconciliation, and advanced goal-setting. Users consistently praise its excellent customer service and tech support, positioning it as a strong competitor and superior desktop-based alternative to You Need a Budget (YNAB) and surpassing Mint.com. While currently in development, it is considered highly usable for envelope-based budgeting, with its developer, matthaggard, actively involved in its evolution.
