Buckets

Buckets lets you divide available money into separate spending envelopes, giving each planned expense its own amount to use. This structure turns household budgeting into an ongoing process of allocating funds and seeing what remains in each spending area. Its privacy-focused design stores financial data on your computer and keeps control of it with you.

A single budget can be shared across multiple devices, including smartphones, so the same plan can be used wherever household finances are handled. Bank import lets users bring financial information into Buckets for use alongside their budget. Amazon reconciliation helps match Amazon activity with budget records, while macros can automate selected tasks for people who want more than manual envelope allocation.

The program is aimed at individuals and families organizing a household budget, particularly those seeking focused financial management rather than a general office suite. Buckets is published by Matt Haggard and runs on Windows as freeware. The current release is version 0.80.0.
