I work on a desktop budgeting application. I love that it's desktop-only (and so do the users)! It doesn't earn a living (yet), but it makes more than enough to cover expenses. [0] https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com

Your application looks really nice. What framework are you using for the UI?

I just tried this out this week! It isn't going to work for my needs (I like having payee names to track past expenses), but it looks like great software, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to people.

Why would I want to sit at my computer to manage my budget instead of being able to access it anywhere? I always have a “computer in my pocket”.

  As a person who painstakingly used GnuCash for multiple years - no, no mobile app works good enough. It is always or too cumbersome, or too simplified. And yes, it is almost always easier to punch in numbers on the desktop.

  Some things are just a pain in the ass to do on a mobile phone I guess. Budgeting sounds like it would be.

  I do this every day with YNAB (even though they have a mobile app). Takes about 5 minutes. So much easier on a computer than on a tiny phone.

    I use Google sheets for my budget - from my phone. I can’t remember the last time I actually used my personal computer for anything. I use my work computer for work and my phone or iPad for everything else. What am I suppose to use when I’m out and about or traveling? I was on vacation when I got paid in December. The only thing I had on me was my phone.
