OpenBudgeteer
Self-hosted bucket budgeting web app built with .NET and Blazor
OpenBudgeteer is a self-hosted personal budgeting application based on the bucket budgeting principle. It helps you organize money into buckets, track accounts and transactions, and keep an overview of your finances through a simple web interface.
Key Features
- Bucket-based budgeting to plan spending and savings categories
- Account and transaction management for day-to-day finance tracking
- Reporting views to analyze spending and budget progress
- Web UI built with Blazor Server and an MVVM-based .NET core
- Container-friendly deployment options (commonly used with Docker)
Use Cases
- Run a private, self-hosted alternative to YNAB-style budgeting
- Track household income/expenses and monitor category-based budgets
- Review spending patterns using built-in reports before adjusting budgets
Limitations and Considerations
- Focused on personal budgeting workflows; not designed as a full accounting/ERP system
- Requires a supported database setup (commonly MariaDB) and ongoing backups for financial data
OpenBudgeteer is a practical option for individuals or families who want bucket budgeting with full control over their data. Its .NET and Blazor Server foundation makes it suitable for homelabs and server environments where you want a lightweight, private finance tracker.
