Budgero
Private Budgeting Without Bank Connections·budgero.app
Budgero is a zero-based budgeting application that uses zero-knowledge, client-side encryption so no one but the user can read their financial data. It offers manual-first budgeting with rule-based automation, multi-currency support, YNAB/CSV import, and offline use with automatic sync. Users can subscribe to a managed Cloud plan for encrypted sync and collaboration, or self-host the full application for free on their own infrastructure.
