Budget Tracker

A no-nonsense personal finance tracker that lives in a single SQLite file.

Desktop Personal Finance · Desktop GitHub ↗

Most personal finance apps want to be a platform. This one wants to be a spreadsheet you don’t have to think about. Categorize transactions, set monthly envelopes, and see where the money actually went — no accounts to link, no ads, no AI insights.

Why I built it

I kept bouncing off the big-name finance apps because they assume you want to connect every bank account you’ve ever had. I wanted something that imports a CSV, categorizes it with regex rules, and gets out of my way.

Stack

  • Rust core, with a small Tauri shell for the desktop UI
  • SQLite for storage — the entire database is a single file you can back up
  • A tiny rules DSL for auto-categorization

Status

Daily-driving it for my own finances. The export format is stable; the rules syntax may still change.
